I have just returned from a few weeks away to a barrage of emails detailing four new Pixie vulnerabilities. The good news is that none of them are severe but it is worth being away of these problems. The details are here:
These security issues are present in all versions of Pixie including the current stable and beta. Please post your patches and fixes to the forum.
Since our showcase in April we have discovered a handful more delicious Pixie sites. Enjoy the show:

This is a repost of an article we published today on the toggle blog. Its our experiences of running this project over the last few years:
On 1st May 2008 we launched Pixie, our open source content management system. Or as we like to say: "small, simple, website maker". Two years on its time to share our experience of running a free to own open source project.

I thought it would be a good idea to post an update on where we are with the Pixie auction. Our first listing on Flippa ended without a winner. Rather than give up I have re-listed Pixie one more time to see what the outcome is. The second auction is due to end within the next week.
I also received an invite today for a service called Flattr. Flattr is one of the first services I have seen that addresses micro-payments sensibly. I am extremely interested to see what the implications of such a service are for the open source world. I am going to be testing Flattr right here. If your on board all you have to do is press this button:
I would also be very grateful if anyone had any suggestions for the future of Pixie. I am not overly hopeful that the auction will end successfully. If this is the case then I will be looking for new energy and ideas for the project. If you have any please post them in the comments. I am looking for project management ideas and volunteers rather than feature suggestions.
And finally we are still looking for feedback on the 1.05 beta. You can download and give us feedback on this version of Pixie in the forums.
