Joomla 1.6
Projectfork 2.2 is functioning properly in Joomla 1.6 but I recommend using it in Joomla 1.5 until 1.6 goes stable. I haven't been able to investigate the new Joomla 1.6 ACL long enough to make a nice and comfortable integration. The way it works now is that for every group you create in Joomla, Projectfork will automatically create an equivalent global group and global access level. In order to add users to those groups, you'll have to use the Joomla account/group manager. In order to give permissions to the users in this group, you'll have to use the Projectfork group manager...it's quirky I know. Fortunately, I don't think you'll have to use global groups that much unless you really need a very complex user infrastructure.
Developers and translators
Beta 3 comes with a Section example package, which was missing in beta 2. The package contains a basic example on how you can create and distribute your own section including code examples and documentation. If you're interested in making your own Projectfork extension - maybe even sharing it with the community you should check it out! You'll find the package along with all the others under: "<joomla root>/administrator/components/com_projectfork/_dev"
If you're interested in translating Projectfork, please wait until the stable release! Chances are that we'll do some changes before the release and it may be hard for you to track them down and update your translation accordingly, leading to unexpected errors.
Up next
The Beta phase has progressed extremely smoothly with less bugs and community reports than I've anticipated. Because of this we'll rapidly move through the RC phase right to the stable release in the coming two weeks. Until then there's still a lot of work to do - mainly upgrading the extensions and the documentation. And of course I'll take care of any bugs that you may find.
