Project Update - November 2018

[Matt Rogers]

Hi y'all,

I wanted to provide a bit of an update on how the project is going since there's been a lot of activity lately. Depending on the activity on the project, my goal is to provide these on a monthly or every other month basis.

Here's a list of major things that have happened since the summer:

 - Removed the cucumber test suite

 - Got CI up and working again

 - Upgraded the application to Rails 5.2.1

 - Made progress on getting all the dependencies up to date

Upcoming plans:

 - Get the website publishable again, and update the screenshots since they're still non-retina

 - Finish updating all the dependencies in the project.

 - Cull the open issues list (older issues will likely be closed)

As always, contributions are incredibly welcome. They do not have to be code. If you have an idea for a feature, please feel free to open an issue on GitHub. If you find a bug, please feel free to open an issue on GitHub. Code and documentation updates are always welcome as well.

Thanks!

Oh, before I forget!

I want to give a huge shoutout to Dan Rice for doing 90% of the work to get us to Rails 5 and for his work on the project in general. I would not have been able to get the upgrades done in the amount of time that I did if he hadn't have done the heavy lifting of the Rails 5.0 upgrade in the first place. 

Thanks!

I'm late to the party, but yes, thank you!

It's great to see you motivated again and the great progress too :)
