This is lame, a total rip-off...

No-one gave mr. baijianpeng permission to "upgrade" to version 1.0.2??? Mr. baijianpeng says he added one provider and all of a sudden he became the developer of the module??? And he has not even upgraded the plugin, he simply added a provider, for which he could have sent us an email!!

Mr. baijianpeng...

You are using our logos, with no permission whatsoever and without mentioning the original developers at all...

The moderators of the Extensions directory should really consider removing this "extension". It violates every aspect of open source software and is a disgrace for the community.

If this goes on, tomorrow we might have a chinese Community Builder including just the chinese language and proclaiming to be the "new version"... Is this what we want??? Joomla moderators should take action immediately!

Others that contributed with translations in this project, had their translations included in the official project page, with their names mentioned! After they were carefully examined to comply with the original code!! Something that mr. baijianpeng never bothered doing...

Moderators of extensions.joomla.org should immediately take action to protect open source!

Can we please start at the beginning? At the moment, I have no clue what this is about. I will send you an email, then we can discuss the situation at hand. If necessary, actions will be taken.

That's sad.

Mr Banjiapeng should be given a warning.

*wonders how these things can happen

This issue has been taken care of already.

Bai has agreed to help the project and join our team.

So we are all fine now.  ;) No double versions are gonna be published anymore.

It was a misunderstanding and now everything is OK...
