Together with Geraint and Alex, we had a conference meeting in Skype, where we had the opportunity to discuss the future development of the project, what our plans are and what we want to achieve.
Probably the most important is that, we agreed on the upcoming
releases. We are planning to shortly publish Beta 2 version of
Joom!Fish 2.0 to public. As of now, all priority one bugs are solved,
although not all of the planned features are included in it.
Other good news is that we plan to add some new features that will be
available in 2.0. Some of these will be included in the extension,
other will be available for donors and contributors of the project.
We are planning to complete the documentation of 2.0 prior to the
stable release, and will make our best to be available for our release
candidate even. The basic help will be available through help screens,
while the full user guide will be available for donors/contributors. As
in 1.8 series, users will have the option to translate the
documentation into their native language and distribute it along their
communities.
Joom!Fish 2.0 (even in Beta 2) will come out with significant
improvements in the performance and SEF, that were already tested and
so far no issues were identified.
Release candidate and stable versions will be published with priority
to donors/contributors and in approximately one month period will be
available for the public.
Of course, if you want to get the latest version of Joom!Fish, the source files are available in our SVN at Joomlacode.
Some of technical features that will come out are:
- Language files for Joom!Fish (the extension itself) will be
available as installable zips and no longer available within the
installable extension. This will allow us to exclude outdated language
files and to make the package lighter.
- The string “No translation is available” will be moved as a single
translatable string of the system plugin, which will allow the users to
have more power on their site appearance without the need to fully
translate the Joom!Fish component.
These are just few of the topics we discussed, some other of course are
still “secret” and I hope to have the opportunity to announce these
publicly soon.
Stay tuned as we are working hard on getting the fish being the first
(as always) available for the public multilanguage solution for Joomla!
P.S. In the last three days there were 14 commits in our SVN, fixing
all known priority one bugs. You can see the current dev version (Beta
2 plus extra plugins) of Joom!Fish in action in a site developed by me:
www.joomla-translations.org (not all being translated yet).
Discuss the article in our forum.
