We recently received an email from google webmaster tools with the subject line: Hacking suspected: http://joomlacode.org/
Unfortunately, it appears that joomlacode.org is infected with content spam. When we realized this, our only concern is to protect our users. This will involve taking down the service in the very near future. This is an inconvenience for project owners using JoomlaCode to host projects for, and we are truly sorry.
Happy New Year from all of us on PLT! We have been busy over the holiday testing, and re-testing Joomla 3.4 alpha. We are delighted to announce we will release Joomla 3.4 beta, January 27th 2015.
We are grateful for all the feedback we received from those who took part in our recent alpha release. This extended alpha phase allowed us to drive attention to testing and creating patches.
All new features contributed to the project will be considered for Joomla 3.5. Features already submitted will be reviewed for the 3.4 release.
Updated Timeline
The following updated timeline is established for the 3.4 release:
- January 20th 2015 - 3.4 Feature Freeze

I am pleased to announce the following with Brian Teeman leading this overdue and needed core en-GB standardisation.
The PLT have accepted the proposal to review and standardise all the en-GB language strings in the core of Joomla based on the style guide that you can see here (until it gets a permanent home).
Abstract
- The official language of Joomla is en-GB and yet the actual strings we use have been created, over 10 years, many by people who are not native en-GB speakers.
- Create a style guide to standardise the correct usage of en-GB and assist anyone writing language strings for Joomla.
- A secondary aim is that this style guide can be used as a basis for translation teams.
- Traditional rules of grammar do not always apply to the web. See Break Grammar Rules on Websites for Clarity
