Welcome to Issue 10 of the 11ty Bundle...take the Eleventy survey to show your support for its continued development.

We've got some breaking news. As Zach Leatherman posted earlier today, as of now, Eleventy will no longer continue with full-time sponsorship. Netlify, where Zach works as a staff engineer, provided a full year of sponsorship that allowed Zach to pursue the project with the intensity that we all witnessed.

All that said, Eleventy will continue to be developed as a side project for Zach.

Quoting from Zach's post:

Eleventy will continue forward in a reduced (and more focused) capacity. We’ll have to make some tough prioritization decisions which may include deprecation (or community-ownership?) of some of our official plugins (as always obeying semantic versioning principles). You can help inform these decisions by taking the Eleventy Community Survey (2023).

I urge everyone reading this to take the survey and make your voice heard. As you'll see in the survey, there is a request to identify any potential future sponsors for the project. If you know of any, please let Zach know.

There are nearly a dozen new blog posts since the last issue and I haven't gotten around to creating a list of sites for this week due to the recent news from Zach.

Other than that, as for this site, I've added a contact form for anyone who wishes to get in touch with me, linked to in the footer.
