Nooku Spaces

To increase collaboration and transparency we have divided the Nooku codebase in 5 different spaces :

Nooku Framework

Nooku Framework is a rapid extension development platform for Joomla, written in PHP 5.2. It aims to speed up the creation and maintenance of Joomla extensions, to eliminate repetitive coding, and add power, flexibility and fun.

Nooku Server

Nooku Server is a freely available multi-site and multi-lingual open source web platform. It is based on lightened core of Joomla 1.5, has been slimmed down from legacy code and unnecessary bloat, featuring better caching and a simplified & lightning fast admin backend and comes pre-packaged with the powerful Nooku Framework.

Nooku Components

The Nooku Components space hosts our official components. All components are build on-top of the Nooku Framework and maintained by our core team. At the moment we are working on com_profiles, a user profile component and com_terms, a taxonomy component.

Nooku Examples

The Nooku Examples space hosts our example components, code snippets and other code that helps you understand how to build Nooku extensions. In this space you will find the code of com_harbour which is used in all our tutorials and documentation.

Nooku Tools

The Nooku Tools project hosts script and tools that can help you increase your productivity when developing with Nooku. In this space you will find our Phing and symlinker scripts. In future we will also be adding debugging, logging and code sniffing tools.
