For those who don't know, there has been some mysterious goings on in the world of Eldewrito. the devs were nowhere to be seen for about a day, gits and websites relating to the project started going down, and things generally started to disappear. we didn't know anything until a dev came on to the IRC to give us some very limited information but in a nutshell, the development of Eldewrito has been paused (Note: NOT CANCELED)

• Dev team is not in any sort of trouble, no one is leaving.

  • Verification via IRC: http://imgur.com/J8oFbWq

• There are a lot of things that need to get sorted before the project can keep going forward

• The reason for removing things: 'Everything is being evaluated for relevancy, organisation'

• All development has been paused while they 'evaluate'

• A new tool, being called 'Apex' is being built.

  • More info about the tool from IRC: <AussieBacom> "Ok so basically Apex. Apex is going to be a tool similar to Assembly. Assembly will become a componenet of Apex called Guerilla (after the Halo CE editing tool). Apex will also integrate a realtime tag editing and updating system called Sapien. So you won"
