Hi there,

Just wondered where the images in stories like this....
http://www.joomla.org/content/view/4410/74/
...come from?

They're quite neat and if they were open source from a collection, I'd like to use some. If they've been made specifically for the site, I'll leave them be.

Cheers, Phil

Can I just say that (like all good threads) you're discussing something that is completely different to the suggestion that I started this post with  My idea was not so complex. If you take a look at something such as versiontracker.com....I can find a piece of software and simply tell the site...

Shipping to the other side of the planet costs almost as much as the t-shirt, but it was worth it 

Phil

But that's the point...there isn't "nothing" at the moment...there's an RSS feed there already....it's just for all extenstions and not component specific like my suggestion.

Phil

No! Sorry, not trying to be rude, but it is missing the point. A lot of components have that built in...or I can go to the install section when logged in and click on their web addresses to check. I'm talking about the times when I'm not surfing...when I'm not logged in to Joomla but doing other thi...

Still disagree sorry...it's not what I was suggesting in the initial post. I don't want to subscribe to 19 RSS feeds. I also like the option simply to add a notify option for components I see that I think "hmm.....that looks good...not quite there yet, but I'd be keen to know when they do some more....

Not sure why you posted a new thread when you just put the suggestion in another thread??

This is an old thread but it is great that a post has revived it as I was thinking abput this again today. I'm not into the RSS idea either sorry....that would mean RSS feeds for all the different components I have installed? No thanks. Plus which, I have them installed....I'm not wanting to read th...

No! Sorry for that outburst  ...my point was to have something that would come to me, rather than having to go to it. I'd really push for this "watch" idea...and while it is a lot of hard work, I'm still trying to emphasise the idea over a compromise like the one you mention.....if that's OK? P...

OK, I know the answer might be that the Extensions section (it’s superb by the way guys) is not an area where you choose to monitor or watch projects...but is the forge? I found some instructions on how to track a project of forge...then had to convince the developer to add people in as people assoc...

Well I'm loathe to put something so specific here, but after watching the forge page for a week I've realised that the 'joscomunity' developer simply seems to post for the sake of always being listed in tthe news. One posting there...it eventually moves off the page....new post appears. That post fi...

Hi there...just took a look at 1.1 alpha (and appreciate it is an alpha)...and it's looking great. The syndication confused me. Obviously people have indicated that they would like to be able to syndicate more than just the stories on the main page. I'm using com_rssxt at the moment and can set how ...

I'd have to agree with the idea if headlines.....saves missing a news item because you didn't look at the page for 30 minutes! Seriously...the news does get pushed off quickly when someone posts a huge announcement. Headlines would not only give a better run down of more news but also give a better ...

I really don't want to sound like I'm complaining...I love Joomla and actively come online to see the latest news. But tonight for example... m ...3 very lengthy posts from one chap who is a developer of 3 components (com_akobookPlus, com_akocommentPlus, com_securityimages) that are repetitive, leng...

Yes, very keen to find more info on this also.

Phil

Well then the best idea is to wait 24/48 hours at least after a release....lots of other people have a test server and you can sit back while all hell breaks loose on their sites 

Phil

Well as they say...to err is human...to really stuff things up requires a computer 
In serious...thanks to the Dev team and for responding so quickly to the noted error.

Phil

Wow! Is that enough of a discussion? 
My thanks to the development team and all developers for the incredible work you all do (most of it completely beyond me!) and the support the Joomla community provides. Happy New Year....what a great start with that announcement!

Phil
