Free Software != non-profit
Why are commercial components allowed? Well, Free Software can be develeped for money, and why shouldn't good work getting paid. The notion of Free Software vs. commercial Software is dead wrong. It's Free Software vs. proprietary Software, the latter limiting choices for its users. (You know that y...

o+x permissions distributed
Hey, all files in patch archive from 1.0.7 to 1.0.8 (tar.gz format) have chmod set to 755.. why not 644?? It wouldn't matter what they are, if you are uploading by ftp then the server should change them. If not, just use Joomlas global permission change. Oh, too late, just untared on th...

Re: projects could need (security) anouncements infrastructure in the forge
