Last I heard, it's an evolution of Yiffstar being led by Toumal (//en.wikifur.com/wiki/Toumal) and Osfer (//en.wikifur.com/wiki/Osfer). There is some discussion over at FurRag (//www.furrag.com/smf/index.php?topic=619.0) from a year ago.
There's also a twitter account (//www.twitter.com/sofurrydev) - well, two (//twitter.com/SoFurryCum), but I hope that one is a joke.
The plan appears to be shut down Yiffstar (//www.yiffstar.com/?pid=109996) and then start up SoFurry a week later. Don't know what happens to FurRag, but the community there seems unhappy by the idea that they'll be "merged".
For the FurRag writers, it might seem more like merging Anthrocon with FOXmas - only with the sizes reversed. I'll reserve judgment until I see it in action, but given the stuff currently on Yiffstar's front page, I can understand their concerns. Even with a concerted attempt to refocus the site - including a rating system hinging on "quality" rather than popularity - they may see their work diluted.
Worth note, my major complaint with this is that I'm worried I'm not going to be able to integrate my comic / blog / twitter into it so I'll have to actively tend to it the way I do with DA / FA.
Yeah, I've thought about that once or twice, too. Bit of a hassle and possibly a maintenance nightmare, though - perhaps wiki-editable XML files with the upload methods?
I don't know about wiki-editable, but XML sure. I mean, if you want to establish a wiki for them, that's cool, but I'd prefer to rely on as few external services as possible with such a tool. Also, in-place files downloaded from a primary source are much less likely to be hijacked by people who want you going to their site instead of the locations defined in the files.
Still, having a publicly accessible repository is a good idea, so authors can just upload their own site-access files. Want to start posting to a new site? Just download this file for it, though it hasn't been verified by the official team yet.
That was my thought - perhaps you could use FlaggedRevisions to review "good" copies, but let people download the others as beta. There's probably an easier way to do it, but I mentioned it because that's how WikiFur's map script (//pool.wikifur.com/wiki/Convention_map_script) is done.
each time a description of the change, there is always plenty to talk about around the world. they are not exempt. a statement usually are: "i have to change almost immediately versions, so do not expect me to date continue to attack .. bell & rose watch (http://www.shopaholicstore.com/bell-ross-watches.html) bellagio del tempo watch (http://www.shopaholicstore.com/bellagio-del-tempo-watches.html) bertucci watch (http://www.shopaholicstore.com/bertucci-watches.html) black dice watch (http://www.shopaholicstore.com/black-dice-watches.html)
