The Joomla! Forum™

Agreed. Thank you all for your very hard work on this.

I appreciate the Joomla! team *not* sending fear inducing security alerts about this issue without first fully understanding the cause and resolution. It had to be difficult to stay focused on a sensible course with all the pressure being placed on the team to overreact. Sending out a note that sta...

That's a hard one. Neither Joomla nor an extension has been hacked, so this luckily has no consequence for websites running Joomla. In that regard I would probably not mention it there. I see what you mean,  in terms of making the announcement and of it being a hard call. I'm not much on the t...

I think a few folks raised a suggestion/recommendation that some form of notification should go out as quickly as possible after something like this happens, and I strongly agree with that idea. I don't necessarily need technical details at the outset (though that would be good if they're available)...

I agree with reikimaster on this. Not only is the interlocking hands theme a good one, it shows up in all kinds of art. You could, as others have illustrateed here, link any logo to another one. I think it's professional looking and well designed. I also think the vote is over and decided. Perhaps f...

I like it (of course I voted for it). Congratulations, I think it really suits the community metaphor well. Concern over the fact that the colours are similar to those of Windows is just goofy. Looks a lot better than another CMS logo, which always reminded me of those flower traction things people ...
