You have my pledge for JFusion to work on Joomla 1.6 soon :)
What changes did you make to your language files? As language strings aren't wokring for me yet. Thanks, Marius
A detailed changelog is on:

Of course we are working on thats why we are finding out about these API changes :) And am working on methods that will make it easier for people to make the switch.
Since you said it took you 2 days to upgrade your component -> can you give some m…
It will be hard to make that promise at the moment. The reason is that an "apple" is not called an "apple" anymore. In Joomla 1.6 an "apple" is called "granny smith", meaning that you have different naming convention for events.
For instance "onLog…
Quote from one of the Joomla developers:
"The end result is developers will likely have to make separate 1.5 and 1.6 versions of their extensions, and no 1.5 native extension will be able to install on 1.6 without slight modifications."
That is qui…
Spot on Nicholas!
The legal structure and the people around it is very important in the long run for every type of "open source" projects.
And the code will always be obsolete so whats the most important key factor I believe is always the people b…
Yeah, we should definitely hire Steve Jobs as a spokesman for Joomla!. He's very cheap as well. Only $1 per year :)
Or, we can persuade the new OSM board members to give us a little more feedback and in a bit more timely manner. They've certainly i…
Nicholas, you're right that my comment about companies was a bit one-sided but there is truth in that one side. If you go through SEC information sometimes you will find things that you would expect to be confidential. Then again, lots of things tha…
Ewout, as usual, the flaw is not with the work of men, but with the men themselves. It's not the license which defines the openness and success of a project, it's the people who run it. Take a WTFPL licensed projects and put pricks to run it. End re…
Thanks for the update Ortiso. Good luck with the new framework.
What is also ironic is that in a way many companies are more transparent than some open source projects. Most companies must public annual accounts, and listed companies have a duty to provide all sorts of detailed information. By contrast, if you a…
In the end, you gotta ask yourself about purpose. Do we want to focus on writing great code? Or, do we want to make certain those who use our code are giving something back?
Same goes for building your reputation. Do we want our code and community…
I've often wondered about that and have never gotten a good answer. The hardcore GPLers will stand like the 300 Spartans in their defense of the license, but will also take the same stance about their proprietary OS and hardware development environm…
Sorry yes, I should have finished my coffee first! LGPL of course. This is why I avoid having breakfast meetings :)

SMF community under siege
My first blog here so I wanted to give you all a big thumbs up for all your positive efforts for the Joomla community. I think that thanks to your effort Joomla has been a more positive community and that open source matters has been trying very hard to be transparent and engage the joomla users. You can have a look at the SMF community to see how good we have it with Joomla.
