Yesterday we published “Solidity Migration & What’s Next” covering the completion of our migration to Solidity, and what is still left in the pipeline before audits / launch:

We are done with the migration (!), and we highly recommend reading the “What’s Next” section of the above post to catch up on what we’ll be working on in the coming weeks. There is still a list of tasks to complete, and the new UI client is just about 50% of the way done. Some PR’s were pushed to the new v3 client (dev.augur.net), our docs received an update, and our backend team is working on sifting through remaining tasks.

ZeppelinSolutions on the Solidity migration.

As we’ve said, the speed of development has increased since the migration, and we’re finding that new employees are easier to onboard at this time than previously. Our team has been growing quite fast, nearing ~18 people including contractors.

We’re internally working on scoping out rough timelines and prioritizing the remaining work. The focus is getting a product out to the world. The first version of Augur will not be the full fledged, no-limits launch. We’re assessing what can be backlogged until post launch, to further increase development velocity and get something out sooner.

The Forecast Foundation is still looking to fill a DevOps role. We are also always open to discussing contract Solidity work & auditing with experienced developers. Please reach out if you are interested.
