Release 0.7 ("Brussels")
2013-02-27
Camlistore is continuing to grow in maturity and userbase, particularly the latter after @bradfitz and @lejatorn gave a talk on at FOSDEM 2014 in Brussels (video: YouTube / WebM). We're making improvements to the website and documentation to improve the experience for those new users who want to get involved in the project. For now, your best bet is still to drop by on the mailing list and say hello!
