OXID Community Newsletter (4)

Welcome to our fourth release of the OXID Community Newsletter. Since the last issue, much has happened here in Freiburg, and we'd love to share all the news with you!

OXIDforge is live with wiki and mailing lists
We're delighted to announce that our community lab, OXIDforge, has launched with a wiki and mailing list! OXIDforge is the place where our collaborative open source development will take place in the future and where you can get in direct touch with other community members.

The wiki at www.oxidforge.org/wiki/ gives a daily overview on what's going on in blogs, forums and Twitter, as well as a list of new extensions and recent downloads. It will be used to define specifications and feature requests, and much more. And don't miss seeing the faces behind OXID in our introductory video!

OXIDforge also offers a mailing list, where the developer community and core developers discuss programming with OXID and about developing modules. Find out more and subscribe at www.oxidforge.org/wiki/Mailinglists
