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.

Extremly excited about our achievements with Tuiyo. First difference between Tuiyo and Joomunity: You will notice is that we have moved from mootools to using jQuery in noConflict mode. yes i am testing it with Mootools heavy template like those from Yoothemes and even jQuery heavy templates. The reason for this is because of the reluctance of Joomla to upgrade to 1.2 or even 1.2.3 now, which broke my style of working especially with widgets, also, because of the enormous simplicity of jQuery. I could not resist the jump. But fear not, Your mootools apps still work. Remember Joomunity used the core joomla mootools- JHTML::_(‘behavior.mootools). Hope you will enjoy the extensive (json based) Ajaxification in Tuiyo.

Just installed the Prologue theme for short updates on Tuiyo Development
