January has been a very interesting month, M&F was unofficially announced, and Solari began work on the mobile site again. It should be mentioned that aside from Tom, no BM development resources are working on M&F.
January's overall status:

Notes:Here's some specific details on the Doctrine Conversion:
Primarily: Doctrinifying the guild/religion turn script.
A major part of this is, as I posted the other week, overhauling religion spread so that it's not so absurdly counterintuitive.
I will also be doing my best to ensure that there is no chance of the total religious belief in a region going over 100%, as happened earlier and caused so many problems.
For time reference, I would guesstimate that the work I've put in so far on the Doctrinification of this script has taken at least 15-20 hours.
Once I have the turn script Doctrinified, I will be going through and Doctrinifying the remaining Guild pages, and then the various Priest pages. At this point we will be able to do away with the old-style code in guilds.inc, replacing it entirely with Doctrine-friendly code.
As always, questions and comments are appreciated!
Cheers,
Scott
