+This will be the frist post in a series that is intended to keep everyone up
+to date on developments around the BABLR Ecosystem. To those who have not yet
+heard, Conrad and I have founded a formal entity with the goal of supporting
+and pushing the development of BABLR and it's asoociated tools. We are
+currently working on the product and preparing pitches and demos for
+investors. I recently attended the gAlpha program by gener8tor to help
+develop the business end and I am happy to say that I have come out of the
+program feeling like I have a lot of new thoughts and ideas about how to move
+the business forward. Part of that was seeing the need to begin publicly
+documenting the progress we are making outside of Github so that the
+information might be more readily available.  
+
+While I have been off learning about the busniness, Conrad has been hard at
+work on product development and we are seeing very promising results. (agAST)
+[https://github.com/bablr-lang/agast-vm], (CSTML)
+[https://github.com/bablr-lang/language-en-cstml] and the (BABLR)
+[https://github.com/bablr-lang/bablr] engine itself, are all seeing heavy
+development, rapid iteration, and marked improvements. 
+
+## Notable Development Milestones
+

+- Deno Cli shipped so BABLR's cli can work when invoked from Deno  
+
+## Other news
+
+One of the tasks that has been keeping me busy has been developing this
+website. Right now it is mostly stubbed out pages, and layouts with little
+style or flair, but we are hoping to get content going as soon as we have a
+real product to target (or maybe sooner). Eventually this will be the hub for
+all things BABLR. You can hope to find tutorials on builing grammars, docs on
+how to make use of all of BABLR's rich features, and informative blog posts
+detailing the engineering process right here at bablr.org.
+
+If you would like to contribute to the building of the website or any part of
+BABLR, feel free to hop into our (Discord)
+[https://discord.gg/pTbg4JGEZp]. There is no shortage of work that needs
+doing and we have tasks that need doing at a wide array of skill levels. Any
+and all help is welcome!
