Extensions 1.5?

Post by SvnX » Wed Sep 26, 2007 4:27 am

Is it time for there to be another section added to the Joomla.org websites?  I think it might be time to have Extension 1+ and Extension 1.5 sections.  This will give those people who only want to view / use / research J! 1+ extensions a place to view only theirs. The early adopters of J! 1.5+ will be able to find their extensions in one place as well.

My thought behind this came when looking for an extension for a customers site that's J! 1.3 and...once I thought I found it, I was dejected to see at the conclusion of the description it said "Only for J! 1.5"....

The only possible issue I see is what do you do with the extensions that work with both?

So...is it time to make a new section of the site for 1.5 Extensions?  What do you think?

The extensions do already have tags for compatibilty in the detail page, (top right hand corner), but I would certainly be in favour of the comptibiluity tags being on the category list page, to save having to go in to each record to find out its compatibility
