New Roadmap; open development of the Oregon 2021 & 2022 updates

Hi, Everyone. I don't know if it feels like it, but I've been very busy behind the scenes, updating the code. I'm building a foundation.

New integration of amendments to the ORS

This is part of a major re-write of the ORS: highly visible notices for amended and repealed sections:

I'm very sorry that these updates to the 2021 ORS aren't published yet. They'll be online within the week. 🙂 As part of this re-write, I've simplified the website process by approx. 5x. You can even follow the development of this feature and see how it works, because I've open-sourced it. (And if you can program in Haskell, you're welcome to contribute.)

Going forward, I've implemented dozens of improvements to the site architecture to speed up development — and keep it running smoothly for another ten years.

More transparency

I created a new development roadmap, linked from the footer of every page:

I've set up a live status page at status.public.law, also linked from the page footer:

There, you'll find "uptime" info for all of the Public.Law services. Plus, announcements & updates about outages:

Finally, I publish small updates to Twitter ("X"?) much more frequently than this blog. It's a good place to go to hear about my latest updates.

Thank you for your patience, and your support.
