Hi jmorris,

sorry for late answer:

In short: We do not know.

Longer version:

We had a huge overhaulbetween Tiki 12 and 14, which did stress the capacities of the cmmunity very much. Only one example the heavy change to move to the Bootstrap framwork and thus responsive design.

Our main focus is to keep the upgrade compatibility consistent and stable without avoidance of new features but with a focs on stability.

In my personal feeling I see many influencial community members focussing more on consolidating on code and functionality.

Additionally we keep the plan (and promise) that 15 will become the next LTS after a while. Thus it must be a solid york and not a quick released more trunk like version (you can always copy your database and try a pre-15 trunk on the copy of your project).

Another aspect of delay is besides already late 14 release, th we are overhauling the community websites and we are working on new concepts like a themes shop, where community members and especially designers and templaters can present and provide themes to the Tiki users (I guess likely with free licences).

So we stll work on the code and o the release, but it might happen, that we have to discuss if we want to keep the release circle or if we see a new era in the way how we bring Tiki further.

Whatever community roundtable meetings and other of our communication channes will output as desition, I cannot tell if we will make it to release 15 this year, respectively thisautumn.

You might want to join our monthly roundtable meetings, o discuss with us in the IRC in #tikiwiki on freenode.net. Maybe developers like Jonny or Jean Marc or the guys from synergic know more.

Anyway, 15 will come in the end and it will be greater, as every Tiki is greater than the great Tiki before ;-)

Best regards,

Torsten
