Or we have to buy it?

Can't wait. The interface looks incredible, but I'm not sure that it comes across more user-friendly though to the non-technical web editor. It actually looks more advanced - like the interface will have a lot more going on and will therefore be more intimidating for the new-comer. Just my opinion from my first impressions of the images, but I hope I'm very wrong about that.

The new UI looks amazing, I've always been an evangelist for SilverStripe and I can imagine these new changes will see a lot more people taking notice and hopefully adopting it as the cms of choice.

Cannot wait see the new user interface of SS. Bet it will be a new milestone for both developers and designers.

(no idea if september will be the date, but i think we will be close enough...)

Pretty much like the idea of having an open discussion with interested users and getting some inside into the ongoing development. Keep up the good work guys. Looking forward for SilverStripe 3 :-) RSSName http://www.ssbits.com/blog/2011/an-interview-with-felipe-skroski-designing-silverstripe-3-ui-development-and-the-future-of-content-management/#PageComment_392
