We have just installed the Zoom gallery component ver. 2.5 b3 on Joomlapolis. We have also installed Pete's plugin after being reviewed by Beat. Hopefully our fellow Joomlapolitans won't find a lot of bugs and we will be able to release it to everyone very soon. Thanks to Pete and Beat!

Please post any comments and problems to this thread:

Continuing our road to number 2 article, we have an updated view. Our project has just hit the number 3 spot on the developer.joomla.org site!

We have now reached over 4000 downloads!

Maybe we should start a pool on the date when we will reach the number 2 spot!

What do you think?

Earlier today Joomlapolis has welcomed its' 1000 citizen! This is approximately only two weeks after the official grand opening of our new online environment. Wow!

The Joomlapolis government  has located this Joomlapolitan. His username is spark9, his name is Jeff and you can view his profile here. Jeff, has gratiously accepted our proposal to share with us some additional information about himself and his Joomlapolitan needs.

A lot of discussion has taken place regarding the Community Builder phenomenon and its popularity. Many Joomla/Mambo websites are based upon the CB suite or its derivatives. This, of course, generates much concern and uneasiness on behalf of the numerous website teams regarding the future development of the core product.

As promised (see previous announcement), the public release of the Community Builder 1.0 RC2 suite will commence on Friday, 25.Nov.2005 (see countdown on home page). The release package will be available in the downloads area of this site ( here ) and in the our project area on the Joomla! developer site ( http://developer.joomla.org/sf/projects/cb ). Language plugin packages and documentation shall also be available in these areas.

During the 9 day THANK YOU Release period, CB 1.0 RC2 has been downloaded over 185 times by past supporters and contributors. Many installations have been made and initial feedback has been provided and documented on the relevant Joomlapolis forums. This initial set of dedicated CB community users, now has some hands-on experience and can hopefully help the rest of the PUBLIC community get up to speed by answering any questions posted on the forum boards. This will of course lighten the load of the CB Team, thus enabling them to continue working on other important issues (plugin coordination, new features, etc.).

The entire CB Team is extremely proud of this particular release as we all believe that it will prove a milestone for the project. Enjoy!
