<hr />
<p>In order to continue to drive the project forward, I'm launching a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the development of a major new release - Django REST framework 3.</p>
<h2 id="project-details">Project details</h2>
<p>This new release will allow us to comprehensively address some of the shortcomings of the framework, and will aim to include the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Faster, simpler and easier-to-use serializers.</li>
<li>An alternative admin-style interface for the browsable API.</li>
<li>Search and filtering controls made accessible in the browsable API.</li>
<li>Alternative API pagination styles.</li>
<li>Documentation around API versioning.</li>
<li>Triage of outstanding tickets.</li>
<li>Improving the ongoing quality and maintainability of the project.</li>
</ul>
<p>Full details are available now on the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tomchristie/django-rest-framework-3">project page</a>.</p>
<p>If you're interested in helping make sustainable open source development a reality please <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tomchristie/django-rest-framework-3">visit the Kickstarter page</a> and consider funding the project.</p>
<p>I can't wait to see where this takes us!</p>
<p>Many thanks to everyone for your support so far,</p>
<p>Tom Christie :)</p>

<h2 id="sponsors">Sponsors</h2>
<p>We've now blazed way past all our goals, with a staggering £30,000 (~$50,000), meaning I'll be in a position to work on the project significantly beyond what we'd originally planned for. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to all the wonderful companies and individuals who have been backing the project so generously, and making this possible.</p>
