K2 | The powerful content extension for Joomla! developed by JoomlaWorks

The good news is that since the current Joomla! code base will be part of more future releases (at least the way I see it), we'll be able to roll out smaller updates more frequently. Our next big goal is K2 v3, which will feature a full code rewrite (and much more compact), further improving on performance and adding features like multi-categorization, better frontend editing, desktop-like interfaces, easy internal ACL among others.

We want people to be able to get out more from Joomla! using K2 and be able to have a powerful content management solution which we consider enterprise-class, yet easy to use even for a small blog.

New getk2.org

The big change is we're going "full-on Joomla!". That means the community is getting an update and now everything will be integrated into one site only. And all in one Joomla! based website (sorry Ning). The current platform based on Ning was good when we launched the project, as it allowed us to setup the community fast. But now that K2 is the no.1 content management extension/CCK in the Joomla! community with over 300 supporting extensions in the JED alone, the project's needs are different.

The new site will feature a revamped community forum, with integrated localized communities for french and spanish speaking users. It will also feature a showcase section for the best K2 websites, a directory for K2 extensions, languages and templates, and finally a new documentation section with both written and video content, which users can contribute to.

All under one roof, all based on K2, with the exception of the community, which is run on the excellent Kunena forum extension - don't get us wrong, we also love Ninjaboard, but we're keeping that for the JW "home" ;-)
