NYCPHP Meetup

[Matt Thomas]

Hi Folks,

I just wanted to drop in and add a few thoughts to this thread.

The Molajo project was first announced, and we first started work on it, in
October of last year - less than one year ago. At J and Beyond this year we
announced a new direction for Molajo that would help showcase one of the
many potential uses for the Joomla platform. This new direction meant that
instead of creating a distribution of Joomla we would create a new
application utilizing the Joomla platform. We have been making good progress
since this change in May, and you can follow along at
https://github.com/organizations/Molajo. Molajo has not reached Alpha yet,
but we do anticipate a release in the upcoming months. Hopefully you'll like
what we've done.

Best,

Matt Thomas
