OT: Backdrop the Drupal 7 fork

[Keith Smith]

Hi,

Anyone using Backdrop, the Drupal 7 fork, in any meaningful way?

The site  :  https://backdropcms.org/

I am exploring Backdrop and am seeing there might be a community 
starting to form.  My concern with any open source project is 1) is 
there an active community that will sustain the project for a while - 3 
to 5 years and 2) what direction is it headed.

Some of their stated goals sound good and Drupal 8 looks interesting as 
well, even though it is a radical change from Drupal 7.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!
