Multi-lingual content manager for Joomla! - Nooku

Not even 6 months ago we announced our plans for Nooku Server, a multi-site distribution of Joomla 1.5. We created a diet for Nooku Server and defined a roadmap. We initially planned to add multi-site support, caching improvements and a new administrator template which we did in alpha 1 and alpha 2, and then … community happened!

We couldn’t have expected so much enthusiasm from developers from all over the world who wanted to help out and contribute. Simply amazing!

Blossoming community

We announced our contributor agreement in November last year. In the past 6 months our contributor base has grown, from a handful to a total of 35. That’s a lot of developer power!

Stick to the code

Nooku development is literally moving ahead at warp-speed. Last September, we reported that we were slowly earning our spot with the big boys. Today, we are in the lead. Pure innovation!

Development on Nooku Server started in October 2010. Today Nooku Server SVN is counting 1500 commits. With all the spaces combined, we have more then 6000 commits, that’s nearly 3000 commits in 8 months! As you can see from the graph above (taken from Ohloh) our development activity is more then three times higher then Joomla. Yes we can!

Thank You !
