Arno Zijlstra commented on Alan Sparkes's blog post 'Template frameworks'
The thing for me is, I like to build from or use little base stuff and extent it with what is really needed in a specific situation instead of having a huge pile of stuff I don't need in the first place. Whether that is a php framework,…
Arno Zijlstra commented on Amy Stephen's blog post '5 Years Later: The Phases of Liberating Joomla!'
Don't be to judgmental to fast Troy, you are completely free to have an opinion but trowing the term "poisonous people" is one that isn't necessary and helpful.
Remember everyone has a different history and some people's…
Arno Zijlstra commented on Amy Stephen's blog post '5 Years Later: The Phases of Liberating Joomla!'
It's good things calm down but that shouldn't mean in any way that things flyby as has happened before ("core" just keeping quite again and hope things pass over) . If big and radical changes aren't made soon in the…
Arno Zijlstra commented on Alan Sparkes's blog post 'Template frameworks'
Alan, what is your definition of a true template dev?
There's fundamental differences between building one template a month for a template club that needs to please lots of people and sell many times or building a custom one time template that…
Arno Zijlstra commented on Alan Sparkes's blog post 'Template frameworks'
Torkil, I think there is a difference, php frameworks deliver raw data in most cases but when template frameworks start to deliver html/css chunks it needs to just fit your standards, accessibility rules, guidelines and doc type kind of options.
I…

Yeah yeah, thanks Brian! (I recovered the stuff he lost from my disc in return)
Sounds like Joomla! Founding Stuff in the cloud ;-)

Found it again: Ever wondered what the first Google search for "joomla" looked like 5 years ago? http://twitter.com/me_arno/status/21650322033

Aaaah a cold beer,and a dance on JAB11 Amy ;-)
Arno Zijlstra commented on Robert Vining's blog post 'Template Clubs vs Custom Joomla Templates'
I agree Rene, I'm in the same boat, all custom for good reasons. A site needs to fit the client/brand and not the other way around like the client needs todo concessions because a pre-written template is like it is and can only be changed so…
Arno Zijlstra commented on Alan Sparkes's blog post 'Using mootools in admin component development'
"nice ajax, and js effects?"
The question to ask yourself is; do you need to add coolness or do you want to gain on usability? If it's the first I'd reconsider the need.
Arno Zijlstra commented on Amy Stephen's blog post 'Community Help Needed: Test Joomla! 1.6 Idea for Language Files'
I agree with Beat.
For translators it shouldn't be a problem anyway because there should be a translation tool that handles file reading/making a nice form page of it/write/copy whatever.

I'd like Joomlatea removed since I just like coffee /me shakes head

I'm graciously going to bed now Pete for very good reasons :-)

Just let Johan speak for himself if he want's to, he has every right to do that just like anyone else.
Arno Zijlstra commented on Peter Russell's blog post 'Guido says it how it is! Time for the community to reclaim the project.'
He may be your "Dries" Pete please don't speak for everyone in the room, no need for that here, people can make up their own mind.

Ivo, a Queen (or King) doesn't have to be a bad thing, it's the role of the Queen that makes the difference. When a Queen has/takes a humble people serving role and has/gains the respect from the people she can open doors that may…

Wanted: OSM candidates
Pete has already posted about it here http://www.alltogetherasawhole.org/profiles/blogs/request-for-osm-board but maybe we should look at an other approach too.
Right now everyone has it's personal idea's about who would be the great man or woman we want to represent us and the project on the OSM board. I think most people here would love to see changes in favor of making Joomla! the great community… Continue

Seth Godin - How to protect your ideas in the digital age
"One way is to misuse trademark law."
"Another way to protect your ideas is to (mis)use copyright law."
"So, how to protect your ideas in a world where ideas spread?"
Don't.
"Instead, spread them. Build a reputation as someone who creates great ideas, sometimes on demand. Or as someone who can manipulate or build on your ideas better than a copycat can. Or use your ideas to earn a permission asset so you can build a relationship with people who… Continue
