Joomla! 1.6

Today was round 2 of our little Twitter experiment to see what would happen when we gave anyone and everyone the opportunity to ask Rob Schley, JXtended Developer, Development Working Group Coordinator and Open Source Matters Board Member, any question they could imagine. Be sure to follow JXtended and RobSchley on Twitter to catch the next opportunity to get your questions answered by a Joomla expert. Without further ado, onto the questions!

We started a little experiment on Twitter to see what would happen when we gave anyone and everyone the opportunity to ask Rob Schley, JXtended Developer, Development Working Group Coordinator and Open Source Matters Board Member, any question they could imagine.

The JXtended Team - Rob Schley, Louis Landry and Andrew Eddie - is currently in Australia, having met with the other Joomla Development Coordinators for the first ever Joomla Development Summit - a grueling four days of whiteboard planning and coding.  We are very excited to announce that we are donating a number of JXtended technologies to the Joomla 1.6 source.

Comments

We are donating our Comments extension to Joomla 1.6.  We feel very strongly that this move, along with access control improvements, will put Joomla in better standing with other Content Management Systems.  We will still be releasing and supporting the commercial version for Joomla 1.5 but will be providing an upgrade path to Joomla 1.6.  Comments for Joomla 1.6 will go into the core just prior to the first public beta release.  Choosing JXtended Comments now gives you the smoothest transition into Joomla 1.6.
