◆Current state
Gibbon, the open-source school management platform, just hit its v30 ('Nam Chung') milestone after 15 years, adding two new core modules — Calendar and Student Alerts — on top of an ongoing front-end refresh (HTMX and Alpine.js replacing jQuery) that began in v28.
◆Where it's heading
The arc is toward a broader all-in-one school operations suite (scheduling, pastoral care, alerts) on a modernized, app-like front end, shipped on a disciplined twice-yearly named-release cadence.
◆Prediction
Expect v30.x updates to refine Calendar and Student Alerts, with continued HTMX-driven UI modernization in the next named release.

    Lam Tsuen (v28 pre-release)

    A v28 pre-release for community UI-refresh testing, explicitly not for production — pre-release mechanics rather than a shipped change.
