Joomla! Official Documentation Wiki[edit]
The concept behind docs.joomla.org is that it will become the central resource for developing single-source modular documentation within the Joomla! project. The idea is that we write stuff once then re-use it in a somewhat analogous way to modern OOP software development. In the future we expect that other sites, such as help.joomla.org and developer.joomla.org will contain some, or even most, of their content derived from sources here. By building a central database of document "chunks" we gain maximum benefit from the efforts of a limited number of authors and we produce "agile" documents where a single change is rapidly propagated to all the derived documents affected.
Those interested in the techniques will find more information here.
Joomla! Doc Camp
Following on from the success of the Joomla! 1.5 bug squashing days, please join us for the first world-wide Joomla! documentation days starting on 19th January 2008. We will have tasks for everyone; coders and non-coders alike. Our primary aim is to dramatically increase the volume of documentation available for Joomla! 1.5. Please join us at the Joomla! Doc Camp. See also:- |
Google Highly Open Participation Contest[edit]
Following on from the success of the Google Summer of Code program, Google is currently running a contest for pre-university students (high school and secondary school students) aimed at encouraging young people to participate in open source projects. Joomla! is proud to have been invited to join with nine other open source organisations for this pilot program which will run until early February 2008. If you are a high-school student it's not too late to join in the fun.
We defined an extensive set of tasks suitable for the Contest and here are the finished products of the contest documentation tasks so far.

Joomla! Development Working Group[edit]
The main responsibilty of the Development Working Group is taking care of the development of the Joomla! application framework and the Joomla! Content Management System (CMS). Beside the development of the Joomla! codebase the development working group defines the Joomla! roadmap strategy, creating (architectural) designs for major and minor versions and of course take care of bug- and security fixes in maintenance versions.
The development working group holds two teams: the Development Team and the so called Bug Squad. Both teams have a seperate responsibility but together they form the development force from the Joomla! project.
