Dear members and friends of ipernity!

1) Exactly one year ago, on 23rd of February, 2017, the prefecture of Val-de-Marne issued the founding deed (as of 20.02.2017) to the ASSOCIATION DES MEMBRES D'IPERNITY. Since then, twelve busy months have passed, in which ipernity successfully has been rescued and the essential restructuring has been started. Without your support, that would not have been possible. We thank you for that.

2) Shortly after the takeover in September 2017, we had found an innovative team of young programmers who were ready to assist us in the maintenance and further development of ipernity. It is the Qwellcode GmbH (Salzkotten, Germany): www.qwellcode.de

3) In January, after having payed the last legacy debts from the asset deal, we were able to commission Qwellcode to familiarize themselves with ipernity's software and database. At the very first Qwellcode will take care of security issues (https:) and the implementation of a new payment service (as a replacement for Skrill).

4) In parallel, Qwellcode has already started the programming of the our new homepage. You can look through the links below to see the current developer's version. (Attention! This is no test version! Some things are not yet working or not the way we want it to. We only would like to deliver some insight to you. You can use the F5 key to change the image background as a test.)

5) We would like to take this opportunity to thank the more than 50 photographers who contributed to the fact that a considerable collection of suitable home page photos has already been compiled: www.ipernity.com/group/2366682
