Howdy Gophers! Short one today. I want to share what’s going on with the project right now, because I’m pretty excited about everything!

Two brief bits:

Code

We are really, really close to an alpha! We have a big kahuna issue (I made up that name, pretty proud of it!) to fix, and then the proxy will be ready for you to run, point your GOPROXY at, and things will work.

It’ll be an alpha of course, but I’m insanely excited to get to that milestone because that’s when we’ll be able to start getting real feedback from everyone.

That’s when we can start rocking the socks off of more gophers.

Community

The community is growing, and, well, RAD! We’re at 102 folks in the Slack channel ( #athens on gophers.slack.com), 15 awesome contributors so far, 28 watchers, and 387 stars.

All of the numbers are great, but I see so much energy and enthusiasm for what we’re all doing, in the channel and in our dev meetings.
