OpenPublish 2.0 and Beyond - A Labor of Love

Jeff:

As one of the very first widely adopted and professionally created Drupal distributions, OpenPublish has been an active growing project now through 2 major releases and over 8 minor releases since we first released it in January of 2009.

I hope this post helps explain a bit about why we think that effort has been worth it.
