It's been a long time since I blogged last time. This is mainly because I'm (of course) a student and a theory says that students shouldn't live their normal lives during final exams.

But during this period I haven't fully stopped working on my project. Right now, the back-end system has a complete category and article manager that has most of the content management features needed. You can take a look at the code in our repository. I also read the great book "Mastering Joomla! 1.5" by James Kennard which is donated by PacktPub. I want to thank PacktPub for their generosity and support to the project and also to our project coordinator Wilco Jansen for arranging this for us, GSoC students.

What's next

Now the backbones of the content component is ready. It's time for the fancy part of my project. I'm going to start working on field manager and field types next. I will also be blogging about it with details of the implementation soon. And then the time will come to combine the fields with the content types.

What you can do...

I believe in the open source world, the community feedback should be a very important part of the future plans of projects. So as I stated in my first post, your feedback will be greatly appreciated during the whole summer.

And don't forget that this baby still has no name. So you can be the one to name it!
