Editor's Notes
- #11 Shortly explain the main design principles for Joomla! Reduce choices important to mention, this starts with the installation Use 80/20 rule Keep it small and simple Design to be extended
- #12 Apache 1.3 or above MySQL 3.23 or above PHP 4.3.10 or above
- #13 Unified installer; installer knows what kind of extension you want to install. Extensions directory; holds an impressive amount of active extensions (2900), originally submitted amount of extensions ~ 4900
- #14 Internationalization was one of the main targets of the original 1.5 Fully UTF-8 support, around 60+ languages RTL support!
- #16 Also a major improvement is the templating See additions in the sheet (MVC, parameters, accessibility etc.) Get rid of the tabled output along with MVC it is now possible to fully separate logic from layout, and in the template we can separate (X)HTML and CSS
- #17 Advanced session management Implementation of caching Simple (cache): Enable core caching Enable query cache in MySQL Tweak browser cache Difficult (cache): Opcode cache (APC, Xcache, Eaccelerator) Memory storage cache (APC, Xcache. Memcache) Sidenote 1: performance of the site depends on a lot of ingredients like infrastructure, site design (template efficiency) etc. Sidenote 2: we have not yet done full performance profiling and optimization, we know where we can gain a lot of performance, more on this when we handle the future roadmap
- #18 Advanced session management Implementation of caching Simple (cache): Enable core caching Enable query cache in MySQL Tweak browser cache Difficult (cache): Opcode cache (APC, Xcache, Eaccelerator) Memory storage cache (APC, Xcache.

- #19 Current development methodologies. Object Orientation and design patterns Three tiered stack to keep the internal structure clean and allow developers to leverage the different layers as necessary. Layer 1: Joomla! 1.5 framework, implementing OO and patterns, leads to logical structured framework packages Keywords: php 4.3 compatible, up till version 5 build with compatibility in mind Reuse of code MVC, OO and patterns Full control on the document object
- #21 Mention our infrastructure sponsor Rochen here!
- #25 Comparison of the projects attending the Joomla! Day Wordpress is additional…
- #26 Sharepoint was the only one who showed up in this comparison
- #27 Here intermezzo (it’s not the war on terror :-D): Joomla! Is widely used, but it’s only for small sites (hobby) so don’t take this to serious?
- #31 This is a social network site, build on Joomla! 1.5.
- #32 www.quizilla.com 40 million page hits per week expected
- #35 Looking forward!
- #56 No matter who you are, you can help out! And we need help with the current growth rate of this project, else individual contributers can’t keep up (burn out).
- #58 Mention the afternoon session here with Louis and me; “What does it take to be a contributor”
