Welcome back!
Life sure does make managing a software development project difficult these days. But, the path is clearing and I'm proceeding with the active development of LiquidPHP.
Version 1 has been abandoned and a new Version 2 is the focus of development, with even more (time consuming) features. It's hard to say "no" when I come up with some new crazy features, but if LiquidPHP doesn't bring all the best new ideas to the table, I might as well just help some other project.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season and I look forward to some positive new developments in 2012!
Kind regards,
