Site Showcase Team Looking for New Members

Written by Ron Severdia

If you haven't visited the Joomla Site Showcase yet, you're missing a collection of some of the best Joomla sites out there. We've just broken 1000 sites (congratulations to our 1000th site, the Junction Motel in Australia), many of which are great examples of sites in over 100 different categories. Check it out here:

http://community.joomla.org/showcase

We're looking for new community members to join this team. What's expected of team members? A few simple things:

1) Spend a small amount of time each week verifying site submissions. The process is quite simple and you'd need to verify such things as whether or not a site is really running Joomla and if the owner properly submitted their site information.

2) Decide what the Site of the Month will be. Each month, the team discusses what the best site is for the month. Past winners are here: http://community.joomla.org/showcase/sites-of-the-month.html

3) Familiarize yourself with the Showcase Guidelines. All submissions need to adhere strictly to them.

4) Occasionally, answer community questions on the Joomla Discussion Forum about the showcase or problems with submissions.

That's it. We communicate via Skype so you'll need to be on it to share information. If you're interested in joining the team, email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

NOTE: Submission period has expired. Thanks for the overwhelming interest!

Uh, Jay... I think in this case the problem isn't Joomla. The problem appears to be that you have no idea what you're doing. At all. You might like to consider taking up a career in sheep farming, or some other occupation that doesn't involve computers.

Funny reaction.. "a bad programmer" does make Joomla bad software, there's a rich choice of different editors you can use, there's plug-ins to easily insert flash files, as for centering text, never had a problem.. Sounds like you need some training and learn how to use some parts of Joomla, not programming but basic usage help

With a little extra help we will be able to approve or work with submitters hopefully in the same day, we have yet to be able to respond even in the same month. We are just about into September submissions. Also, don't be afraid to submit a website that you have built, the requirements aren't that difficult to meet... finally, don't be afraid to suggest new categories, it is super easy to manage that stuff in the mosets tree system.

How do we get our sites published in the showcase? I'd like to throw my hat in the ring, so to speak.

Hi -
Not sure where the best place to post this comment would be so I figured I'd give this a try. My question concerns the turn around time for verifying sites. I submitted a site I did under the non-profit category a few weeks ago and have not heard from anyone. I am fairly certain I followed all the correct guidelines etc. and I don't think the problem id with the actual verification but more with the fact that there seems to not be anyone available to verify it in a more timely manner. Hopefully the addition of more members to take part in the site showcase verification process might speed things along a bit.
Not so much a complaint as an expression of disappointment in the delay of having my site up in the showcase...oh well...
Which brings me to the question: Is there anyone who I can contact regarding this? Could someone look into it or are there just not enough people helping out that are available to do so?
Again, not trying to give anyone a hard time, just curious and a little impatient I'll admit...

I was looking for NABA.exe the New American Bible/W Apocrapha module to add to e-Sword and the link does not work. Do you know if this is still available any where?
