Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Post by circumpunct » Wed Sep 05, 2007 12:25 pm

Who updates the Joomla site?

It's running a bit behind the curve.

I guess whoever does it has been busy - (maybe a core developer?). Perhaps some volunteers from the commuity could help out?

It's an expression commonly used in English.

NB That's from the English language Wikipedia.

Can I say NB? That's also Latin :)

I have never heard any English speaking person using the latin version of that phrase, I have only ever heard the english spoken commonly  "Who will guard the guards?"

Hi Russ.

Well googling it on English-only pages gets 127,000 hits  ("Who will guard the guards" gets 14,000) - but we are getting a bit of thread drift here.

The intent of the posting was to see if it was possible or practical to get community members to help keep the Joomla site up to date.

Actually most of the people who would have an input into, or update the Road Map have been rather busy actually doing the essentially development work.

I am sure this will be addressed when other priorities are met.
