The development towards PHP-Fusion 8 takes a new turn. Tadaaa!

Our Management Team has decided to appoint me, Richard Ainz, as Coordinator for the Development of the next major version of PHP-Fusion.
You all know me, I've been around for ages and know my way pretty well around this wonderful Community. I will work closely together with Christian Damsgaard Jørgensen, PMM, our Lead Developer, and his Team. Most of this work will take place at www.8.php-fusion.net, which is currently being set up and organized for this purpose. That site will not be open for general support, but dedicated to discussions and announcements regarding the ongoing development.

If you feel you may be able to contribute in the development of version 8 with ideas, coding, themeing and other relevant tasks, feel free to bring your name via a Private Message to me or Christian, on this the UK Next site.

I am pleased to announce the availability of PHP-Fusion v7.02.05.

Update: PHP-Fusion v7.02.05 Update
Full package: PHP-Fusion v7.02.05

Locale changes in this version can be found here. 38 roadmap items were completed for v7.02.05 - please refer to the roadmap for details.

PHP-Fusion v7.02.05 is expected to represent the end of life for the PHP-Fusion Core Edition 7.02. So saying, it is time the focus shifted to the next generation of PHP-Fusion.

A special thank you to Korcsii for facilitating a few administrative duties.

Hey, everyone! Yet another weekend is here. Are you happy? ;)

PHP-Fusion Romania is now in its final day of proposals for our online Code Camp. This Saturday and Sunday our developers will choose the projects they want to code (by becoming project managers) and from Monday, April 16th, we will start coding. After the four days of writing code, on Friday, April 20th, we will polish, pack and publish some brand new PHP-Fusion add-ons. :)

So wish us luck AND if you want to contribute something why not add a few comments here with your desired add-ons. I can't promise you we will code them all, but if some of the international developers decide to help next week the chances will grow considerably, of course.

The rules for the proposals are simple:
1. No core modifications, please. We want some cool add-ons that everyone can install and maintain easily.
2. Complex add-ons are out of the question. It would be a pity to finish the short Code Camp with only a few add-ons, no matter how amazing they would be. We need to focus on small to medium complexity so we can produce very useful add-ons for the most people possible.
3. Jump in. :)

Our goals:
1. The offer you guys some fresh or refreshed add-ons for PHP-Fusion.
2. To coach new leaders for development projects.
3. To motivate our members to work with us as a team so you can understand how development works.
4. By the means of the camp's outcome, we want to motivate other people to learn programming and make a good stand in public. :)

Wish us luck! ;)

We are pleased to announce the forthcoming release of v7.02.05. In these days, we are applying the finishing touches to this version in the form of bug fixes. Furthermore, I would like to present some of our initial considerations for the development of the next major version of PHP-Fusion, v8. The aim is to make the next major version of PHP-Fusion less community-orientated by reducing the size of the core and releasing modules as officially supported add-ons. In consequence we consider it essential to make PHP-Fusion more extendible by add-ons. We would like to take this opportunity to make it clear once and for all that PHP-Fusion will always remain lightweight and easy to use and modify - even for novices. If you would like to get involved with the core development, please feel free to register on PHP-Fusion NEXT. If you want to join the development team, please fill out the staff application form - we are always looking for burgeoning talents. Watch for the news!
