In an effort to mitigate the recent JED downtime (over the last few days) we’ve just completed a migration of this site to a new server. The new server has faster hard drives, as well as a higher performance processor (Quad Core).
We realize how important the JED is to the community, and have worked as hard and as fast as we could to identify and take action addressing the causes. In addition to the hardware upgrade, we also discovered what appeared to be a DDOS attack that was also contributing to the issues. Many of the IP’s identified and blocked were most likely ordinary computers, their owners unaware they were being used to this end.
In any case, thanks for your patience, and for now we hope things will return back to normal. Special thanks to Ben and Chris from Rochen who have both worked around the clock, staying up later to sort some of these things out.

We have finished most parts of the Development Coordinator Summit over the last few days. We have had some pretty intense days of discussing our agenda, that covered the following topics:
- Development vision
- Healthy development team
- Operational and organisation structure
- Road-map
This mail is a summary of the outcome of these topics. When you read it is important to understand that we only covered the highlights and have set direction and focus for Joomla development. It will take time, and considerable effort from everyone involved in the project to achieve our goals, but we are excited. It’s impossible to share every detail but the following presents a summary of each major topic.

The Joomla project is requesting comment and feedback for a proposed new site that is planned to be deployed in 2009. The working name for the site is the “Joomla Services Directory”. This site is to be a directory along similar lines to the Joomla Extensions Directory but with the purpose of connecting people or companies that provide Joomla related services, whether they be free or commercial, to people who need those services. It has been identified that providing a centralised directory will have a significant positive impact on Joomla user and business community. The scope of the site is yet to be decided but it is envisaged it may include services such as consulting, free-lancing, training, professional advice, legal advice (pertaining to Open Source or operating a software business), Joomla-ready hosting, and so on.
