We come a long way since the first version of Fork CMS was made open for the public. In october we celebrate our third open-source anniversary. And the very first documents for the closed version found in the archive are made in march 2007. With the switch to Symfony it is a good time take a look back and see how we're doing.

Since the launch of the website on september 1st 2011 we had more than 60.000 downloads. That's about 100 downloads each day. If we take the numbers over time, we see a large interest at the launch of the new website because of the mention on Mashable.

GitHub is where all the magic happens these days, all code contributions go through the platform, which gives us interesting data to look at. We register 35 contributors who helped us to build our codebase. Around 650 people are following us on GitHub and 150 created a subversion (or a fork) of the cms.

What's next? The core developers team is working hard to get the switch to Symfony to go as fast as possible. Along this way, we hope to welcome the Symfony community. In the next weeks and months we will try to improve growth in contributions and try to let our current users grow with us to Symfony.
