Ok, enough back-patting :) So where to next? Fall is going to be extremely exciting for JoomlaPraise! First up, let's talk about ProjectFork. We'll be releasing a beta this month (before we get bombarded with emails, we don't have a release date yet ;). We recently made the move to eat our own dogfood and start using PF to manage all of our internal projects. This was pretty painful at first, but has helped us guide the project in a very productive direction. I can say that at this point, PF is actually helping our team stay on top of everything and it is a pleasure to use. The most recent features we've added that aren't publicly available are:
 Next up, we have AdminPraise, which is quickly becoming our most popular template/extension (it's not fair to simply call this a template). AdminPraise started as an attempt to optimize the Joomla admin site on an iPhone and has transformed into a movement to make the entire Joomla administrative experience more streamlined. Here's the latest great features we're working on:
 A new version of PraiseSlides is in the works, which will come packaged with several themes, all of which will be easily customized. Customization has always been the biggest request for PraiseSlides, so this release is a direct result of customer requests. We're also adding several key features:
 Let's talk templates, since after all, we are a template club. We're currently developing a duo of Tableless Templates which will use the most html template overrides we've ever used to allow for a tableless Joomla site. For those who've followed JoomlaPraise since our 1.5 Template Contest entry, we actually developed a tableless version of our template way back then, and we're reintroducing these overrides to all of our future templates. Lastly, we've received a ton of requests to purchase our templates individually. We're developing something to facilitate this, and a whole lot more :) More on that soon, stay tuned!

Can't wait to see all of these changes. I'm most excited about the PraiseSlides being updated, since in an upcoming project I will be putting the tabs in a different spot than usual and having it slide to the left and right. Very exciting times indeed, cause now I don't need to spend a whole lot of time changing the module myself.

I am glad to see that you guys are using your own stuff to make your website better. This always gives confidence in the user, me, that your stuff works.
 I just love ProjectFork, and cant wait to see the beta. Keep up the good work!

If you could take a peak under the JoomlaPraise hood, you'd see that the engine is running on all cylinders. It's been 8 months since our February launch, and we have progressed from the "little template club that could" into a club that's making fairly successful attempts at changing the Joomla! experience. We've released 14 solid templates, one of which (AdminPraise) can hardly be called a template, as it's changing the way Joomla! sites are administered. We've also released 8 extensions, which range in scope from PraiseUrl, a simple but extremely useful module that reveals Joomla! system urls, to ProjectFork, which in all fairness existed before our club, but has been rebuilt from the ground, up while under the JoomlaPraise roof.
