Bolt 4 needs to be done

  • Go over entire docs, make new screenshots

• New Theme needs to be finished -> Derk (see milestone)

• Redactor and Article need to have a bit of docs -> Bob

• Redactor and Article should be added to bolt/project by default -> Bob

• The “Bolt 4.0.0 stable” Milestone should be empty . See Bolt 4 roadmap

• Make “News” section on boltcms.io -> Bob

  • Prepare nice blogpost -> Anne / Ivo

• Think about “marketing” strategy (reddit, submit to places, Twitter)

  • Update GeneralParser.php / config.yaml to set base-2020 as default theme.
• Tag bolt/project as stable (with “minimum stability” to stable)
• Switch docs to 4.0 as default
• (Switch to boltcms.io as primary domain)
