Selenium State of the Union
summary
Summary of project status since SeleniumConf 2011: core moves to WebDriver and Grid as active development, with Selenium RC in maintenance mode; the project ships rapidly — 21 releases in under a year — backed by a CI farm running thousands of test-hours daily on SourceLabs; adoption shows ~1,500 downloads/day and 1.7M Ruby gem downloads; priorities are stabilizing flaky tests and latency, improving mobile/browser coverage (including Chrome on Android and Opera), pushing a W3C WebDriver draft, and migrating source history into git.
