Joomla 1.7: Expanded User Profiles
03.09.11
How many times have you built a site, and your client asked you for some additional information about users who register for the site? They wanted to collect their mailing address, date of birth, a favorite book, or even they just wanted them to accept the terms of service. Unfortunately, in Joomla 1.5, you would have had to install a complex extension like Community Builder to acheive this functionality. Now, however, it's built into Joomla 1.7.
SourcePossible New Release Cycle for Joomla!
19.12.09
One of the great things about the recent Joomla! Developers Conference in New York was that, with Andrew, Ian, Louis, Ron, Sam, and myself, we had all four Development Coordinators plus a majority of the Production Work Group all in one place for the very first time. This gave us the chance to talk in depth about an important issue that is critical to the future of the project -- the release cycle.
As many of you know, version 1.5 was released in January of 2007, almost 2 years ago. That means that it will be over 2 years between versions 1.5 and 1.6. I think most of us would agree that this is too long between versions. But just saying we should release more often doesn't address the underlying issues and challenges.
Fortunately, Louis had given this a lot of thought, and he led a discussion of how we can get to a more dynamic release cycle while preserving the stability and reliability that our users have come to expect. I wrote up a short proposal based on that discussion and just posted it to the General Development list here.
As I stress in that post, although we are excited about this idea, it is only a proposal at this point. We want to hear your feedback before we make any decisions. So, if this is a subject that you care about, please read, consider, and then let us know your thoughts. Thanks!

JED Editor's Picks Nominations - One Week Only!
11.10.10
The Joomla! Extensions Directory Team is proud to announce a new set of guidelines for the once Top Secret Editor's Picks! With no new selections since 2008 and only 8 current listings, it's was past time to review our procedures and add new ones. Throughout
discussions many ideas were brought up on how to handle the selection process. To bring in community involvement, a nomination form has now been created. The criteria for selection is listed on the nomnation form below. The nomination process closes in 7 days, so make sure to get yours in quickly!
Selections will be announced by the end of October 2010 and the process will repeat every 6 months. If an Editor's Picks is currently listed, that does not mean that it will be listed in the new round of selections. Additionally, team members with listings in the directory have self-excluded from the selection process. You may nominate as many as you wish!
A total selection of up to 60 Editor's Picks will be chosen (about 1% of the entire listings).
Happy nominating and good luck!
Migrating to Google Apps Without Interrupting Email
22.07.11
I have recently been working with an Education School - The Upper Valley Educator Institute - to migrate their internal email systems to Google Apps Education Edition.
Their email was stored on a traditional server and everyone was using a different email client (no-one had backups!). Google Apps would provide some clear advantages in efficiency and management.
