Mark Simpson commented on Stian Didriksen's blog post 'Banned from people.joomla.org'
@Stian, I asked on the forum and apparently there is no specific policy about ban terms, etc. It's all handled on a case-by-case basis and you have to ask them on the forum if you want to be re-admitted. They may or may not let you…
Mark Simpson commented on Amy Stephen's blog post 'Call to OSM regarding Joomla Press: Official Joomla! Book'
I don't really see this as a problem provided that the authors have volunteered their efforts and all proceeds from the sale of the book go directly into the project coffers (which I assume is the case with this book).
Would have been nicer to…
Mark Simpson commented on Martijn Maandag's blog post 'The world upside down.'
@Jacques:
Nothing stops anyone from building a parallel team, but in my opinion that may lead to duplicate efforts, or limit it's usefullness to members of one site only.
The Joomla leadership have only one criteria when it comes to deciding…
Mark Simpson replied to Mark W. Bender's discussion 'Joomla! Community Magazine Relaunch Status.....' in the group Joomla! Community Magazine
Hi Brian,
Yes, those are extensions that add to Joomla, as opposed to a CCK which replaces the core of Joomla *CMS*. Joomla doesn't sell itself as a directory or blog.
It isn't a strong enough argument on it's own I agree, but…
Mark Simpson replied to Mark W. Bender's discussion 'Joomla! Community Magazine Relaunch Status.....' in the group Joomla! Community Magazine
I don't think it would be in the best interest of the Joomla project to use K2 or any content management extension on any J.org property. It would be an admission by the core that their core product is just not good enough... and that would not…
Mark Simpson commented on Peter Russell's blog post 'Johan Janssens @ Barcelona Joomla!Day 2009'
As previously mentioned, great presentation!.. and thanks for the write-up, Peter.
Nice to see Ninjaboard get a mention. Stian has been leading that effort and can't stop talking about Nooku. You know he's in love with the framework when…
Mark Simpson commented on Amy Stephen's blog post 'Volunteers are falling short, and now, OSM has to pay developers'
The reason there is a shortage of contributors is that elements in the core are always opposing drastic change. You can't expect Joomla to progress in leaps and bounds while only making baby steps.
Take the example of the J admin UI; It's…

Awesome!
Congratulations Brian.

Mark Simpson commented on Stian Didriksen's blog post 'Khepri without js based menu - testers needed!'
Thanks for this Stian.
The js menu in khepri is the most annoying thing I have to deal with every single day... having to wait for the entire page to load before I can use the menu.
There was no good reason for it to be in there in the first place…
Mark Simpson commented on Rafael Diaz-Tushman's blog post 'Joomla Developers: Make Useful Dashboards!'
Hehehe.... I reckon our NinjaForge dashboards are amongst the worst in existence :)
Like Rafael, we've seen the error of our ways and are slowly replacing them with simpler, cleaner ones. The overbearing branding was/is terrible too.
Love the…
Mark Simpson commented on Amy Stephen's blog post 'Is Joomlart Violating the GNU again? First Rocketheme, and now YOU Joomla?'
@Matt, That battle has been fought and lost. Joomla extensions will never be allowed on the JED under any license other then the GPL.
Mark Simpson replied to Techbot's discussion 'Will this site remain strict about gnu/gpl licensing?'
Joomla?

Mark Simpson replied to Rene Kreijveld's discussion 'Challeging question for the menu'
Glad you found a solution (a good one too!)
Just thought I'd share how I managed this about a year ago. Steve Burge had posted a a modified menu module he and Brian Teeman came up with here:…
Mark Simpson replied to Peter van Westen (NoNumber!)'s discussion 'Helping Eachother vs Promoting Yourself'
Please follow the rules Sir. Only commercial extensions may be promoted here.
I call upon Ms. Stephen to remove this post and ban this user, for he is giving away his extension for free, an obvious indication that he is a Socialist. Remove him…

- Uber geek - awesome! Thanks for joining in, Mark. I'm excited about working more closely - as a stronger community - with other Joomla! developers and seeing what we can do to make Joomla! better. You have a lot to offer and I encourage you to open discussions and join in with others and share your ideas and insights. Personally, I know I can learn much from you, so I appreciate your involvement. Cheers!
