Oookay! Exciting stuff is coming together.

We believe digital publishing should be easy for everyone, and we need your help to make it happen. You have been the muscle behind every move we’ve made here on the core team. Don’t you think it’s time for us to get together in real life?

Hello concrete5 friends.

We believe computers are a great communication tool.

We know managing images and files is a central part of sharing information online, and we know our file manager can be improved. In the last few versions of concrete5 we’ve worked hard on making sure it’s full of features; now it’s time to give it some polish and make it work better.

Frz: Hi concrete5 community! Franz and Andy here…

Andrew: We’re back!

We believe free and easy communication of ideas through computers is important.

Whew, it’s been a remarkably busy spring with lots of exciting developments for the PortlandLabs team. We still need to come up for air and make some public announcements. Stay tuned for more on that stuff soon.

We've had a roadmap page on concrete5.org for awhile. It's generally been a high-level affair, with us sharing some general thoughts about the direction of the platform. But it's hardly been the specific, granular roadmap that people have been looking for. That's going to change today.

Today concrete5 documentation is focused around technical developer docs, and more interface focused editors guide. There’s also a searchable collection of Tutorials, which are typically short and very task specific. We want to create a new Implementation Guide.

What's so great about new concrete5 anyway?

We are looking for accomplished interactive media designers. This may be either an individual freelancer or an agency that provides services. We generally do not sell design or strategy services, but we do need internal design support. We have an immediate need of redesigning PortlandLabs.com, and we’d like to develop more on-going relationships with design resources we can recommend to our clients.
