What you are not understanding is that extensions don't belong to the community. Extensions belong to their respective individual developers. You need to understand that. It is your misunderstanding of that basic principle that is causing you to repeat yourself over and over again...

I hope you can find a way to move in that direction. David - What happened to all that talk about you creating a server for us? Your adoring community awaits! Amy I amy I am into that -- when I said I would be willing to do it I also said I would not do it on my own. If we can fin...

Joomla users have a need for reliability of sources and consistent availability of extensions. Popcorn Joomla users need to know that their needs comes first. Cry The core question is how can those neeeds be met? Undecided These needs are being met by the JED. If you feel that the JED is not ...

vizion2000

JED has always been about providing the best possible quality listing of current components. If a component has been abandoned by the developer then it is not possible to confirm that it is constantly being reviewed for security issues (as is the responsibility of any developer) therefore we err on...

You're making argument for argument's sake because you have a need to kick up a fuss. I don't know why, maybe you're just trolling or in the mood for a fight, but either way your statements don't hold water. Google themselves freely admit that they unlist sites that are hacked, which is a direct pa...

vizion2000

Do you realise this would amount to a policy by JED to take implied responsibility for insecure extensions and consequent damages arising from successful hacking of user web sites? If so the JED will soon be crippled by lawsuits!! Why would it amount to that? If you link to a page from your w...

Security vs availability. MamboXchange had availability above security. We all saw where that went last summer as hackers systematically downloaded all extensions, found hacks, and started using their botpark to scan for insecure websites. If you check your Apache log, I'm sure that a lot of the au...

vizion2000

The implied promise of security is a red herring and a very dangerous route for JED to go. In effect the comments made by JED can be seen as an implied warranty for which JED could become legally liable. I do not believe, for one moment, that JED would conciously intend to go down that route but tha...

vizion2000

Well if it was the end of the world then we would all be getting off!!! The point is that joomla is the core the extensions are the value. Why take a way value when there is no need to do so??? Why should JED decide whether to list or unlist? Extensions are community proporty not JED's. Security is ...

For those developers who are on the ball it worked. However if you look back thouight this topic you will see that at the time the changeover to the new system ook place approximately 75% of extensions previously on the system had not been transferred. At that point only one email had been sent out ...

I feel really let down by what I perceive to be the autocratic and inconsiderate manner in which this whole process has been handled. If you are going down this route rather than simply migrating all extensions over to the new Please make a link to a page containing all abandoned extensions to...

Hi vision2000, Unluckily you obviously have had problems locating some specific extensions for the last days. None of us like when files we badly need are not available. Can see that lots of developers are updating their listings these days, and the amount of extensions returning an error related t...

This is just getting to be toooooooo much and going on toooo long. I am seriously thinking of building an unofficial joomla extensions site for downloading via ftp as a temporary solution. Is there enough support? It would need volunteers to check out files before they are uploaded to make su...

Joomla has grown exponentionally in the last year and a half. We are also noticing this with everything we do in the Sites & Infrastructure workgroup. Next week, Brad and me are meeting at the summit, one of the most important things we're going to talk about is the current state and future of the ...

The most important thing is that we have software now which can't be downloaded, and we're going to do all we can to remedy that. OK that sounds good -- we need to be able to get at everything that was there.. and hopefully that will include the good the bad and the ugly It looks as though attentio...

Hi David: Although I personally feel your pain (I can't download joomlaXplorer right now), I think you need to cut these guys a little slack. What's done is done: Carping extensively about what should have been done, how the process should have been organized better, etc. won't do anyone any ...

This migration is not a funny thing for anybody, this has cost us (very approximately) more than 600 man hours of work already, and we're not finished yet, and have to deal with loose ends. Didn't someone work out, at the planning stage, how much time this was going to cost? Or did someone fo blith...

Since yesterday, all 3rd party developers that indicated that they want their project migrated and have provided joomlacode credentials, have been migrated. With this, they also received a tutorial how to quickly publish their project on Joomlacode, and change the download link in the extensions di...

I n my last posting when I referred to developers I meant those of us who use joomla and its extensions to build websites. I did not mean those who developed extensions. Just thought I should make that clear so there is not confusion. NB I thought I had already posted this comment but it seems to be...

IMHO Joomla is the core - but its value the value of it lies in the third party extensions, modules & templates. This system failure is critical rather then an administrative hiccup. Personally, I think the value of Joomla! is in every part of our community inclucing the members, core-d...

David - What's wrong with participating in the other thread? I'm not suggesting closing this topic. I don't get to decide, so, don't worry! Thanks! Amy But that is just what you did do in this thread... Would you please call for the close of this thread? IMHO the big thread is less focussed than th...

Since you seem to be one who is trying to figure out "the right way", I am certain you understand my point. Would you please call for the close of this thread? Let's consolidate our voices into the other thread and trust this process to work. Thanks for considering, Amy IMHO this is the "righ...

The old forge is down, VA have turned it off when the contract expired. We do have, however a full backup, and more than 3 people have been working full days for the last week to migrate the 1000's of projects. Be patient, it's a huge task. If developers of projects can't handle the 2 months notice...

Hi David, Sorry to hear the troubles you have had to download the Gallery2 bridge. However, I can assure you that the Sites & Infrastructures team has worked extremely hard to get the new joomlacode to work smothly. As Brad mentioned, it also need some cooperation from the developers and we are wor...

*sigh* The new system has been working for months. Any developer was welcome to migrate their project themselves at any time, many chose to do that. Many projects have inactive developers and may well be abandoned. Please don't blame us, the people who supply you with all these resources for free. ...

Settle down people.. this has been planned for months, and all developers of projects were emailed. Joomlacode has also been working for months. There are no mistakes here, this was all planned.

OK, thanks for the info. I was trying to download the LMO extension - does anyone know where to obtain that besides from these pages?

Hi I have been trying to get the Gallery2 Bridge for a couple of days now... What is happening?? david There is no link for Galler2 Bridge on Joomla code.
