New Working Group Starting: App Store

[David Hurley]

Hi all,

We're working through the list of objectives that have been set for the Joomla! project for this year. One of the goals set is to begin working on the App Store idea for Joomla. This is an open invite to all extension developers, as well as other interested individuals, for starting the working group for Joomla App Store. If you are interested, please let us know and let's get this going.

The goal of the group is to outline and begin code discussions for creating a Joomla App store as defined by the Project's 2013 Goals:

Currently there is no a code deadline for an alpha version set, however it is hoped that progress be demonstrated and made before the release of Joomla 3.5.

As we begin to take a proactive approach to each of our working groups, we are providing a separate branch in our Joomla Project GitHub repository to allow for a unified development area. You can find the app branch here: http://github.com/joomla-projects/joomla-cms/tree/feature-app. We encourage those interested in working on this feature to also fork this branch to their own repository as a starting point.

There is also a Skype chat available - if you are interested in being added please send me or someone in the PLT a message. (My Skype: davidbhurley)

Let us know if you have any questions and we’ll be glad to answer - Let's keep Joomla! moving forward!

Thanks,
David Hurley
