Wanting to jump into Nooku

Comment by Torkil Johnsen on January 7, 2010 at 1:17pm

Development time is drastically reduced of course, but most of all I feel it has helped my own coding skills just to poke around in the framework and learn how it is built, how it works, learning about the different design patterns being used, and so on.

does it take long to get approved?

No idea :| You don't need to be approved to download and start using the framework though.
Approval is just for access to internal stuff I think.

Approval is only for the mailinglist (which is very helpful as it is still being developed). What I like very much about the mailinglist is that if someone says something like "wouldn't that be a nice feature" or "I've done this, can it be merged into the trunk" Johan and Matthias react very fast, listen good and fix things quickly. The atmosphere is great: open and enthousiastic.

A good starter-manual is here (yes, on alltogetherasawhole.org):

and

The main thing Nooku has to offer is: you have to write less less code to do the same thing. Further, I agree with Torkil: the code is beautiful. Code by Convention: some naming rules, so you have to do less "administrative" work.

There is also a wiki: http://wiki.nooku.org, but to log in you have to be admitted to the mailinglist.

They are limiting the numbers of developers admitted, so they can handle it. That's clever. Recently 50 new devs were admitted. I thought that about halfway 2010 version 1.0 will be released (we are now in 0.7) and then everything will be open to everybody. At least, those were the plans I heared on a Nooku-day October 2009.

The approval time vary, as it looks to me like they go trough the list once a month.
So I guess the closer you're to that day of the month, the shorter you have to wait :)

We're releasing a refactored forum extension in a little over 1 week from today, called Ninjaboard that are relying on the Nooku fw ;)
It's coded ground up as the old version was only half 1.5 native anyway, and we've seen a great code reduction because of it :)
It's a currently at 3259 lines of uncommented PHP code. See more stats on the Ohloh for Ninjaboard.

Cool! Grab me on skype if you need a little help to get started while you wait for wiki and mailing list access :)
