Molajo, a Joomla 1.6 distribution

Yesterday, the ATAAW community announced Molajo, a Joomla 1.6 distribution. On the roadmap for Molajo are a number of new features that didn’t make it into Joomla 1.6 such as as usability improvements, new frontend and backend template and additional administrator tools.

More importantly with Joomla 1.6 still in beta, Molajo is also a great way to have more eyes on the code to help test and fix bugs. As Linus Law says : “given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow”.

I have been asked to help guide the Molajo Project as part of the Elders Council which I gladly accepted. The first two days have been a lot of fun. Getting to know everyone and helping to get things started.

Molajo is still looking for new contributors to help out. You don’t need to be able to code, they are also looking for testers, documentors, communicators, … designers, …

If you want to help let me know and I’m sure we can find you a place where you can put your skills to good use.
