"First off: If you haven't read the recent news with the Bukkit project, please do so.

A short summary of the events; Mojang has hired the four main Bukkit team members to produce the official modding API for Minecraft. This modding API will NOT be Bukkit. It will be written from scratch as Mojang cannot legally use Bukkit's code, and this modding API, just like the current Minecraft game, will be closed source.

Jeb: "Many of you may ask why we decided to work with bukkit instead of other Minecraft teams, such as Spout or Forge. The reason is that we want more than just modding, and these guys have always had server admins in mind when developing their additions to the game."

Essentially, the Bukkit project is a zombie. It's not quite dead, but everyone knows it will be. It's living off the brains of others, since the team is gone. And one day, someone is going to kill Bukkit. Probably Mojang, because technically CraftBukkit is illegal.

What does this mean for Bukkit developers?
They are going to have to start over in a few months; from scratch. There most likely will be no Bukkit compatibility plugin for the Minecraft API.

What does this mean for Bukkit Server Admins?
Remember the hey0 to Bukkit transition? No? Chaos. You will have to start from scratch. All your configs will change. You will need to redo all your permissions. Redo everything. Hopefully you are one of the few rich servers who could afford full time developer staff, because you are going to need them for updating/converting plugins if the original authors don't.

What does this mean for Bukkit users?
Expect a lot more downtime from your favorite servers in the coming months along with broken features."

BUKKIT WILL BE DYING SOON. We need to find an alternative or just run vanilla server with standard mods.
