The Joomla! Forge is up and ready to accept projects. VA Software has kindly donated SourceForge Enterprise Edition and 2 dual xeon servers for it to run on so this is going to give Joomla! a premiere solutions for project development. I'm sure we'll have some teething problems as things are quite a bit different from the old GForge implementation, there are some limitations that we will work diligently to overcome but I think you'll find the project management capabilities to be superb!

Check out the Joomla! Forge forum area if you have any questions.

An international consortium of web designers and developers has joined forces to help those affected by Hurricane Katrina.

With the launch of the Katrina Evacuee Help Center at www.disastersearch.org, there is now, for the first time, a "one stop shop" for evacuees, families looking to reunite, and the people working to assist them.

A call for help was posted by Pastor Jay Dearman, who runs the www.churchofthe.net site, to the Joomla! Open Source community forum five days ago. (www.joomla.org)

"There are people posting desperate messages for help in different places all over the Internet, on news sites, and on missing persons' registers," Pastor Dearman said. "We need a centralized registry and we need it fast."

As a result the international consortium was quickly formed under the leadership of Peter Koch of Switzerland.
