It was by Elliot Haughin and the topic was found here on his public blog. I was impressed by his willingness to get something out there for us avid CodeIgniter developers to use!

He called his project CodeIgnition at launch, and eventually became Blaze. However it seems he has taken it down. It started as a simple proof-of-concept project and by the first release candidate/beta, he stated on his blog it wasn’t exactly the way he felt it should be. Also CodeIgniter will most likely be bringing out a new version post-launch of EE 2.0 .

Well, I’ve decided to take the inspiration he had seem to have at the beginning of the project and create my own version of a CodeIgniter CMS dubbed “Combustion”.

It will be designed with the ideal in mind that fellow developers will use it for commissions, therefore easily change out the copyright tags to read the designer of the site. I won’t require anyone to keep my name or site on the visible copyright, just in the source. Something I’ve been looking for, for quite some time now is an easily implemented CMS that does the basics and can be expanded by a series of self-writ modules (or from a library of modules/controllers/libs from CI Wiki, lol).

I’ll keep everyone in the loop who is interested.

If anyone out there wants to start a collaborative project on this, get in contact with me! I’ll even take a back seat position if a project is already started.
