Hi Everyone, As many of you know, we have used the Subversion system on Sourceforge for our collaborative development of e107 for many years now.
This past week we have just completed the migration of our upcoming v2 branch in the SVN of e107 to Github. (v1.x will remain on SF)
So, what does this mean for you?
Well, if you had ever wished to contribute changes directly to the core release of e107 - it will now be a whole lot easier!
Github users will be able to fork and send pull-requests, as they are likely familiar with already.
And if you are unfamiliar with Github or git, don't worry - we will soon post a basic walk-through to show you just how easy it is to use. (thanks to Moc and septor)
Anyway, here's the link: https://github.com/e107inc
And if you already have an account on Github please let us know your username in the comments below so we can 'follow' you!
Cheers!

Well, as some of you may have noticed from the banners around the site - we have partnered with Arvixe - a hosting company here in the USA. Arvixe provides affordable hosting with e107 pre-installed and can have you set up with a new e107-installed site in just 5 minutes for just US$4 a month.
Why Arvixe?
Well, not only are they a big supporter of open-source software but they are an Inc 500 company and are ready to help and serve the e107 community.
I also learned today that their systems are lightening-fast with MYSQL databases running off solid-state drives as of January this year.
Many people appear to be reporting that their sites run much faster after switching to them!
You should also know that by clicking the hosting banner in the footer of this site and choosing them as your hosting provider you will also be supporting e107 Inc. toward the running costs of e107.org.
Well, I'll leave it there, but if you do need hosting, please do keep it in mind.
Cheers

Well, it's official - e107 v2.0 will support the jQuery framework.Quite some time ago (years?) e107 Inc. had decided to utilize prototype.js as the default framework in it's next major release - formerly known as '0.8' and more recently as v2.0. But as the months have rolled-on jQuery has clearly forged ahead to become the leading javascript framework worldwide, with a massive list of plugins to its credit. It's easy learning-curve and concise mark-up certainly make it a good match for e107.
Anyway, if any of you have been holding back from using jQuery in your plugins (perhaps due to compatibility concerns?), there's no longer any need - code away! And for those of you who still favor exclusively using prototype.js - it will still be possible to disable all the jQuery code and use prototype.js or some other framework of your choice with just the click of a button in the preferences. (be warned though, you might miss some of the cool features!
) So, spread the news and let us know your thoughts and experiences with jQuery in the comments below.
All the best,
Cameron

As many of you would have noticed, there's been some major (over-due) changes around here.
We are very happy to finally reward the community with a new website design and a new logo.
The new logo retains some of the elements of the 'old cube' which we made-do with for many years, while adding some new elements.
It will be different for everyone, but personally, I like the 'expansion' aspect that it portrays - which I believe is fitting for the e107 CMS. There is another aspect which I find interesting in the logo, and that is that if you take each curved element, or combine, rotate some of them, etc. you could actually make something which resembles 'e107'. Maybe one day we'll animate this, because I'm sure I'm not explaining it very well. Comment to let me know if you see it.
As you will have noticed, we have also changed our version numbering. Some believed e107 was still in beta, due to the '0.7.x' format, and for some time we have planned to change this (when the time was right), as e107 is certainly mature and stable enough to be a 'v1.0'. Consequently, what was known as v0.8, will now be known as v2.0, and yes, we do still have plans to release that soon.
In version 1.0 of e107 we have introduced a new theme called 'core' which will be the default for new installations, and retired 'reline'.
"Core" also includes a reworked admin-theme, which takes a little getting used to (for those who were using Jayya) but we have grown to prefer it's layout and navigation, and we hope you do too.
The installation routine of e107 has also been reworked inside and out. (thanks to Daniel)
We hope you like the new design of e107.org. It actually combines content of what was previously four separate sites: e107.org, plugins.e107.org, themes.e107.org and e107coders.org.
Yes, I have finally retired the old e107coders.org site, which will be left online for legacy value (forums etc). There simply weren't enough hours in the day to maintain that old site, and for some years now I have dreamed of having everything combined together on e107.org as your see it now. As well as the plugins which were at plugins.e107.org - all the 0.7 plugins from e107coders.org have been imported also (about 350 of them - with dupes removed) as well as over 100,000 user accounts. (doing our best to avoid duplicates there too). So, if you had an account over there, you now have one here.
So many changes have been made, I'm sure I've missed something. But I'd like to close here in saying that all the many changes you observe before you now would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our development and design team. In particular, Miro, Stoev, Deso, Vesko and our new junior developer Daniel.
Thank you guys - you're all geniuses in your fields!
Anyway, here's to a great 2012 ahead for e107 and it's community.
Cheers!
