<p>In the first blog post we talked about <a href="http://community.joomla.org/blogs/community/1232-builders.html">improvements for site-builders in Joomla's administrator area</a>.</p>
<p>This time Kristoffer from <a href="http://JoomlaBlogger.net">JoomlaBlogger.net</a> talks about category improvements for articles in Joomla 1.6.</p>
<h2>Joomla 1.6 Categories</h2>
<p>Joomla 1.6 introduces a couple of new concepts. Among them are the  way categories are handled.</p>
<p>In previous versions of Joomla we've had sections and categories. One section could have several categories  attached to it. However that was it as far as hierarchy went.</p>

<p>However, not every successful Joomla developer has sites with a shelf full of awards or 5 million visitors per month.</p>
<p>We're now going to turn our attention to other types of successful web design firms. We're particularly interested in how people make a living with Joomla. In a new series of interviews we're going to investigate how people like you are able to leverage Joomla, start their own businesses, become independent or work to achieve other goals such as social change. </p>

<h2>What is the JSOP?</h2>
<p>This is probably the fist question which comes to everybody's mind. Well, JSOP is an acronym for "Joomla! student outreach program". This program offers students a unique opportunity to participate in developing projects of value to the Joomla! community. Basically, students are assigned to mentors all around the world and work on a project for three months (during summer) under mentor's guidance. More information about this program can be found <a href="http://developer.joomla.org/joomla-student-outreach-program-jsop.html">here</a>.</p>
<h2>Why am I mentioning it?</h2>
<p>Because I'm a member of one team of those students. Our team is currently working on a project management tool extension for Joomla! 1.6. In short, the goal of our extensions is to provide user-friendly tool for everybody to manage his projects across all parts of their production cycles. In order to accomplish this goal we follow several philosophies. The most important one is called KISS (not that famous band :) - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle">"Keep it simple, Stupid!"</a>). Thus everything is kept as simple as possible and no unnecessary features are included. The second important philosophy is DRY - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself">Don't repeat yourself!</a>. DRY philosophy makes our code both clear and easy to modify in furute. Both of these philosophies together enable us to speed up our work on the project and fully benefit from resources Joomla! 1.6 provides.</p>
<h2>What is current status of this project?</h2>
<p>We started about three weeks ago and we're working very hard on portfolio gallery right now. Currently we're able to create a portfolio of our projects (even more portfolios), assign projects to it (and also create them, edit them, (un)publish them and delete them), go through them and look at their overviews. In addition, we can assign Joomla!'s users to a specific project. However, we cannot set his role in the project yet. Tasks for the next milestone (btw, the next milestone is date on next Monday) are pretty straight forward - to work on "task manager" part and "enable assigning documents to a project". In this stage, we also want to make our views to look awesome so part of our team has started to work on CSS and HTML code of our views.</p>
<h2>How many people work on this extension?</h2>
<p>At this time, our team consists of four people but we expect 2 people to join us very soon.</p>
<br />
<p>Well folks, so this is it for now. I hope you enjoyed my brief introduction to our team and project and will stay tuned for next updates and further details about our goals, progress and everything.</p>
<p>See ya soon!</p>

<h2>But when exactly is the birthday?</h2>
<p>To some extent Joomla! is like the Queen of England. She has two birthdays, one the actual date of Her birth and the other the date of Her coronation.</p>
<p>For me there are three possible dates that we could choose for Joomla:</p>
<ol>
<li>August 17th - the date that we split from Mambo <a href="http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&amp;t=72">link</a></li>
<li>September 1st - the date the Joomla! name was announced and www.joomla.org was launched <a href="http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&amp;t=3097">link</a></li>
<li>September 16th - the date of the first release of Joomla! <a href="http://www.joomla.org/announcements/general-news/164-baby-joomla-cuts-its-first-tooth.html">link</a></li>
</ol>
<p>What do you think? When should we officially celebrate Joomla's fifth birthday?</p>
<p>Oh, and don't forget to <a href="http://people.joomla.org/groups/viewgroup/575-Joomlas+fifth+birthday.html">visit people.joomla.org to help plan the parties</a>.</p>

<h2>Part 1: Improvements for Site Builders</h2>
<p>Joomla  1.6 offers much to site integrators and builders that will make them very, very  happy. I have spent so long working with Joomla 1.5 and its quirks that I’ve  forgotten about many of my pain points. Now that 1.6 is out, I can’t wait for  the final release, and it’s all due to a few little things that make my life  much easier. I hope you enjoy these new features as well!</p>
<h2>Hooray For Save &amp; New!</h2>
<p>In  Joomla 1.5, we had the options of Save, Apply, and Close for most functions in  the Joomla administrator area.</p>
<p>We now have some new options for creating and editing content, and they're located fairly uniformly across the Joomla admin interface. Here's how they look and change in regards to an article.</p>
<p>After clicking the "New" button in the Article Manager to create a new article, the buttons look like this:</p>

As you may have noticed, the system has not been in operation continuously, but even so during the periods we had the system on we processed over 13,000 Joomla! instances on a single cluster of servers.</p>

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person that managed to bulldoze their way onto the core team :-) I was deeply involved in the efforts to rebrand as Open Source Matters and then Joomla; I also have the unique distinction as being the "John Hancock" of the project, as I was the only one physically present for the initial signing of incorporation documents for OSM. I'm not officially part of the project at present, but of course still an active promoter and supporter of the project. I'm also a contributor to MongoDB and getting involved with the Lithium PHP framework, and am a huge fan of emerging technologies. I am an unapologetic, unabashed FOSS homer.</p>
<p>Work-wise, I'm CTO at <a href="http://totsy.com">Totsy</a>, a private sale website specialized in retailing cool and unique products for moms and their young children.</p>
<p>I'm a family man, so outside Joomla (and technology/career in general) I prefer to spend my time with my wife and kids. I also coach soccer (go Brooklyn Patriots!) and gaelic football (go Brooklyn Shamrocks!), and am super excited to be riding my skateboard again. I'm writing a couple books, which is startlingly difficult and time consuming.</p>

Resources Directory</a> Team is excited to announce the addition of new guidelines for submission acceptance.  Previously, the only method of measuring active community involvement was through the Joomla! Forums.  After extensive brainstorming and discussions throughout the volunteer team, we have added in new fields in the listing application to be inclusive of the many areas that you can contribute in the project.</p>
<p>While a link to your profile on the Joomla! Forums is still required, it is now coupled with the ability to include your involvement in other areas like the following:</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Active free support on the Joomla! Forums</li>
<li>Active free support on Joomla-related International Forums</li>
<li>The Joomla! Community Magazine</li>
<li>Joomla! Day Attendance</li>
<li>Joomla! Day Sponsorship</li>
<li>Contributing Documentation</li>
<li>Extension Development</li>
<li>Active Beta Testing and Bug Squashing</li>
<li>Member of a Community Working Group or Production Working Group</li>
<li>Active member of a Joomla-related Google Group</li>
<li>Involved in other official areas of the project that are not listed here</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>We believe that all contributions to the community are valuable and want to do our best to promote that!</p>
<p><strong>How the new inclusive areas are calculated</strong></p>
<p>A generic point system is now in place that is a general guideline to determine your level of involvement in official areas of the project.  If, for example, you are not actively involved in the Forums, but are actively involved in the Magazine and have developed some extensions - that would count for active community involvement.  There are no set "5 points for this or 10 points for that", instead it is a Yes or No answer for the team.  "Are they involved in this area:  Yes"</p>
<p><strong>What does not qualify as active community involvement?</strong></p>
<p>While being active in communities outside of the Joomla! Project is important, the team has no way to evaluate that equally for all submissions.  So, no outside involvement with 3rd parties qualifies.</p>
<p><strong>What are the other main deciding factors for getting approved?</strong></p>
<p>There are very few, actually.</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Your site must comply with the Trademark (Joomla! name and Logo) usage requirements.</li>
<li>Your extensions (if you distribute any) must be GPL Licensed.</li>
<li>Your templates (if you distribute any) must have the PHP portion GPL Licensed.</li>
<li>You must be able to provide 5 examples of sites that are Joomla-based which you have worked on, designed or developed.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Lastly, if you are submitting to the Hosting Provider category, there is additional server testing requirements that must be met and are outlined on the submission form.</p>
<p><strong>Can I resubmit my listing if it was not accepted previously due to the Forum Involvement requirement?</strong></p>
<p>We welcome resubmissions.  There has been a lot of confusion lately because of the amount of denials notices that have gone out.  The reason behind an automatic rejection based on the previous community involvement guidelines is simple - we chose to not allow exceptions to the guidelines in an effort to be fair and equal to all involved.  It would simply not be right to allow a few submissions to "slide through" without meeting the requirements when every other listing owner has been held to the same standards.  The JRD Team wants to be fair to everyone involved and we sincerely hope that these new changes will provide a more "level" playing field for everyone!  If you have had e-mail contact directly with a member of the team, feel free to e-mail them personally with questions specifically pertaining to your listing.</p>
<p><strong>So what's next?</strong></p>
<p>There are more advances and changes coming to the Resources Directory and we'd love your feedback on things that could be improved or added.  If you have an idea, please share it on our <a href="http://people.joomla.org/groups/viewgroup/24-Joomla+Resources+Directory.html">Joomla! People Portal Group!</a></p>

<p>Last Saturday, I was at the Joomla! Day New England organized by the <a href="http://www.joomlanewengland.org/">Joomla! Users Group New England</a>. The setting was beautiful and the group enthusiastic. I heard great talks by Ryan, Joe LeBlanc and Ken Crowder. I also got to lead my own discussion of how to get involved in various parts of the Joomla! project. Here's <a href="http://docs.google.com/present/view?id=dhfff9gt_254f6rn3wf3">a link to my slides</a>, though I'm more of a discussion person than a slide person. What we talked about is how so much of getting involved is just "showing up." This has been my experience in many different volunteer efforts, whether a neighbourhood group, a congregation, a school or an open source project: taking a deep breath, overcoming the fears that go with entering a group where everyone seems to know each other, and rolling up your selves is what it takes. It is, indeed scary, and it's true that in most things like this, there is no instruction book beyond "come in and grab a broom."
