I think we should start #GratitudeTuesday (or any day) to acknowledge people quietly doing the work that keeps us all running, keeps us secure, keeps our businesses running. What is your favorite under-acknowledged #opensource project that many rely on and doesn't get enough attention? Or your favorite contributor who always seems to be plugging along making sure those projects are healthy?
@katherined gotta love Joomla! Been building sites on the CMS for about 15 years or so and volunteering with them for about 10. So many amazing volunteers.
@alison @katherined Nice to read someone from who use and volonteer Joomla. I use Joomla for my personal web site, and one for an org I manage.
@hehemrin @katherined Henrik how are you liking Joomla 4?
@katherined @alison Yes, well, I have pushed Joomla 4 in front of me… Time plan for J4 release was delayed a few years I belive, but it arrived! Now it should be mature but I need to take time to learn more before I prepare migration. I know the template will need work as Protostar cannot be migrated. So I need to start to understand issues first. Then I can explore features! I am conservative in using extensions. But still. So your question - I hope I can answer you in spring!
@hehemrin I was reluctant at first but it really is a good fast version. I started by just doing a play around site on a burner domain to get the feel of it.
@alison Sounds good! I have a burner for J3, so a J4 burner is a good idea. Or/and if I do a local installation on a Linux laptop and import my site and see what happens, and start to explore that way. I haven’t done a local ”LAMP” before, but I believe I will manage if I just take some time for it.
