The race for the new Joomla Extensions Directory is on! |
|
In a recent post it was announced that the Joomla Extensions Directory (JED) will soon stop accepting extensions that aren't GPL, and then phase out those extensions and Joomla 1.0 extensions. Naturally, this caused an uproar in the community, as these types of announcements always do. I'm going to steer clear of our opinions on the matter. This reason for this post is to let everyone know that we're establishing a new home for extensions AND templates: CMS Market! We've always felt left out since templates haven't ever been allowed in the JED (though templates are technically extensions right? They do fall under Extensions > Template Manager in the default admin template). Our timing for CMS Market is extremely fortunate. We thought it's main purpose would be for those who don't have sites to sell their products, but with these latest changes to the JED, CMS Market will be just as useful as a directory! The goal of CMS Market is to be the best and most reliable marketplace/directory, and not be biased at all. Any money CMS Market makes will only serve to make it better for its users.
Also, CMS Market will be donating a portion of its profit back to the community.
