Great news...Simpleboard is a great component!

[torkil]

Very good news indeed.

I wonder what they (Miro) were thinking...  It must be somewhat sad to be in their shoes right now.

[Markku]

Well written statement, Jan!

[Predator]

Very wise decision tsmf team  and very good statement as Markku wrote.

[SineMacula]

Excellent - glad to know the TSMF team is on board with OSM and wherever we're all headed!

[Forsh]

That was very nice.

taken a wrong exit on the Open Source highway

I like that. Thank you Jan for a well written statement.

Jan de Graaff you're the king

Thumb up for your decision! I'm looking forward to see your BadWords2 in action.

We would just like to thank and acknowledge the support of the Simpleboard & Badwords2 development teams, led by Jan de Graaff.

The success of Mambo and the continued success of OSM is due to the efforts of the Community and 3rd Party Addon Developers.  Without the support of people like Jan and his team this would simply be another OS project in a sea of OS projects.  However together we will continue to create and grow something truly special.

Thank you everybody, upwards and onwards to even greater heights together!

Open Source Matters, because it is about helping others!!

Wow nice features! I have one question. Do you plan to support a SMF forum too?

Again two tumbs up for guys!

I was thinking the same thing, and I will bring it up to the team.  I don't think it will be part of the beta, but we'll discuss it and I'll give you an update. If you have a running SMF forum installation, you can probably implement it yourself with our instructions; let me know if you're interested and I'll get in touch with you.

[dorjano]

I'm veryyyyy interested in using Badwords2 with SMF. So I'm kindly asking you to send me your instruction on how to hack SMF. Thanks in advance! (You can use my PM)

I know AkoComment in version 2.0 and I ask you what is it your AkoComment 3.42 *only* ???????? Is there a particular version developped by you, guys?

All the 'out of the box' integrations are based on altered procedural files of specific versions of the software.  Doing an 'integration' means replacing key PHP files from the base installation with our versions (modified versions of the ORIGINAL base installations).  (BTW, this also means if you've hacked or modified your original files, you'll have to add those hacks or modifcations to our new versions!)

They are meant to demonstrate the concept for applying the flushing technique to any software.  As developing this has been quite time consuming, we are limiting the integrations we officially support to these versions so that we can provide adequate support.

In other words, we are hopeful that once you see how it is done within the examples we're providing, you'll be able to adapt the component or module of your choice and share it with the rest of the community.

Thanx a lot Kaizen for your prompt reply! I'll wait for your beta release for testing on the 'NewName' repository but if I have well understood in your zip file I'll find even an AkoComment 3.42 for overwriting my one ver. 2.0 - is it right?

[kaizen]

Oh Geez! I am so sorry, the original announcement has an error!!

It should read AkoComment 2.0 and AkoBook 3.42!!

This is my fault, I am so sorry for the confusion!  I will fix it wherever listed.

Don't worry, a mistake is always possible. I'll wait for your files...

PS. My AkoComment is hard hacked but I'm not able to make working with a PatTemplate system. Anyone out there for collaborating for this?

[joomleb]

Jan, I'm too glad to receive this info from you  :P
