That's Bonfire's goal: provide a solid base off of which to build your new web applications. It's not a CMS. Instead, it's a springboard to build off of with many of the tools you wish you had on projects but never took the time to build.
All wrapped up in an elegant interface that will make you proud when you hand the project over to your client.
- CodeIgniter 3.x included. CodeIgniter 2.x support available with some minor changes.
- Very flexible template/theme system, capable of Wordpress-like parent/child themes.

- 4 ‘contexts’ ready for your code: Content, Reports, Settings and Developer Tools

If you're interested in helping out, fork the project and start coding! I'd love to have you on board. You can always shoot me an email at lonnieje@gmail.com and we can talk about how you'll best fit it and what the best place to start coding would be.
Let's make this the best kick-start to any CodeIgniter project.
Due to the shift from CI2 to CI3, there are 2 branches containing recent releases and 2 development branches.
- The releases are in the master (v0.8.0) and 0.7.4 (v0.7.4) branches.
- The development branches are develop (v0.8.1) and 0.7.5-dev (v0.7.5) branches.
Any changes due to issues in the Bonfire code are currently being made to both development branches.
- v0.8.x uses CodeIgniter 3 by default. CI2 is supported, but not included.
- v0.7.x uses CodeIgniter 2 by default. CI3 is supported, but not included.
