As 2009 finally draws to its close, and as we reflect and make our resolutions for the new year, Just taking this opportunity to wish you all a happy and propserous new year. Surely 2010 will be an amazing year from the looks of it!

Honestly, even with the coming of Joomla 1.6 and the enormous effort by the COMMUNITY of developers to make this the best Joomla! yet, my enthusiasm keeps fading on a daily basis, and its quickly being replaced with a feeling of frustration and “what’s the point”. I should have written this post way back in September just before it was time to go back into my studies, just to explain to those who have followed and encourage my work, understand why I almost just want to disappear from the Joomla community, wishing I never ventured. I understand that disappearing will not help me, it will not help those who are greatly interested in Joomunity, now Tuiyo (read on for why the name change, and the only reason why i will keep developing this component) project.

Something completely unexpected, but i guess it will be a great adventure. A friend of mine recently brought attention to this Youtube film by Yann Arthus-Betrand’s Home Project, and as you will imagine it is a narrative about the environmental changes and the effects humans have on the place we call home: Planet Earth.

Just a quick preview of profile styling. This is one of the last features I was hoping to implement but was not sure i could make it for the Release candidate, but because i am excited that it is finally complete, I’ll share a quick screen-cast with you. First, I have struggled to come up with a better way to describe profile styling in Tuiyo. (more…)

UPDATE: We are currently moving all the planning docs for Tuiyo from the local project manager software, to a new management portal for the team. Will give a snapshot update of the project road map once this exportation is complete.

This will include milestones of features completed as well as uncompleted task, right up to Tuiyo 1.2. However the plan is to have a stable version of Tuiyo as soon as possible. This means once we have a release candidate, it will be followed immediately, by a maintenance release (Tuiyo1.1.1) and a feature freeze. But fixes will be released as iterations of Tuiyo 1.1.x .

Subsequent features will only be added to Tuiyo 1.2
