Quote.Vote v2 Refactor Update — Roadmap Progress and Call for Contributors
Published on January 17, 2026 by Louis Girifalco
Hello Everyone,
As we begin the new year, Quote.Vote continues to advance toward a clear objective: building open-source civic infrastructure that strengthens public discourse. Improving the quality of discourse is a foundational requirement for addressing many of the complex challenges facing society today.
Over the past month, our volunteer contributors have made strong progress on the Quote.Vote v2 migration. Phase 3 has now been completed, marking the close of a significant portion of the refactor and bringing us closer to a stable release candidate.
