XAJAX team has release a new version of its library for PHP and ajax: XAJAX 0.2.5xajax 0.2.5 has been created as a bridging step to xajax v0.5. xajax 0.2.5 aims to be forwards and backwards-compatible with xajax versions, while at the same time providing important security updates that have been lingering around in the xajax codebase for a while
It's been just over one year since we released our last version of xajax and it was about time we released another version. Work on v0.5 has been going well and we're almost ready for a release, but there were a few things that couldn't wait for the next version. Thats where xajax 0.2.5 steps in. For a start, we're getting things ready for you to move over to the new xajax v0.5 syntax by letting you use easier to use methods to respond to client requests. We've also fixed up a few bugs that have been lingering around and been annoying everyone for some time. Last but not least, we've fixed up a couple of important security vunerabilities.
I've made a new version of the mambot http://www.xajax-joomla.com/
Just remove the mambot and install this new version XAJAX System Mambot For Joomla v0.2.zip (look in my download section). I am running also now OpenComment 3.0.30 with the latest version of Xajax

Status of JoomlaCloud

I also wrote:
- A mambot: joomlacloudbot.php which is activated onContent and scan scan onDemandyour articles, site.
- A module mod_joomlacloud.php displaying onDemand a site wide tag cloud or only a section, category, item
- It will be out when it is ready!
- I am doing this on my spare
nighttime ;-) - The principle of tagCloud is quite easy, can be done in 20 lines of php BUT I wrote my component by keeping in mind the word extensibility!
- Analyser classes are responsible for tokenizing text using different strategies, removing certain words based on dictionary, words length too small...etc
- Scanner classes are responsible for giving back a subset of data of your site
- Limiter classes are cutting the collection of tokenized words, for example you only want the tag cloud of the most 100 words, or only the least used words or ...
- Cache classes are storing TagCloud result in Database for efficiency, but using file datastore is also possible, or no cache
- Engine classes are of 3 Types:
- SuperCloudEngine is giving some basic functionalities for creating a TagCloud
- PluginsCloudEngine can customized the way links are created in the cloud
- LazyCloudEngine is using a PluginsCloudEngine and a ... cache for efficiency, creating cloud onDemand and saving them to database
Right now, what is still open:
- Testing administrator panel, I assume it is 70% correct
- Testing installer -> only boring, modifying XML by hand
- Testing module and mambots, maybe some more code to write
For a planning point of view, I will deliver first JoomlaCloud since it has never been released in the wild, then finishing migration of OpenComment to Joomla 1.1 API

Askimet is a service hosted at www.askimet.com which use traind bayesian filters and other measure to categorize comments as spam or not spam. User can find the Akismet plug-in for WordPress or one of the third party Akismet implementationsWhat is bad is that there is currently no Joomla! implementation for Askimet, until now! I will deliver shortly a new component, which act one more time as a framework, and let 3rd party components integrate Askimet in their code. OpenComment will be the first Joomla! plugin to use that new possibility!
Askimet statistics:
- 543,878,439 spams caught so far
- 1,544,713 so far today
- 94% of all comments are spam

Concepts are emerging, code is lot less hard coded than 20 lines of PHP (which may also work well)
- Scanner is responsible for returning a subset of data: can be the whole site, the current article etc...many implementations can be used and or created
- Analyzer is responsible for analyzing words and take them or not into account: based on length, dictionary etc...
- Limiter is responsible for limiting size of collection: the top 20, only the first 100 words, sorting etc...many implementations can be used and or created
- Tokennizer is the process of transforming a list of words into a list of token, etc...many implementations can be used and or created
- Plugins are responsible on how the list of words are written or displayed, .etc...many implementations can be used and or created
- Caching factories to save mips on the server...

I've create a new mambot (inspiration from a wordpress plugin), which will help visitors to add your articles to the major social bookmarking site...At the end of each article, 7 small icons are displayed and they point to:

Social bookmarking sites generally organize their content using tags. Social bookmarking sites are an increasingly popular way to locate, classify, rank, and share Internet resources through the practice of tagging and inferences drawn from grouping and analysis of tags. [WikiPedia]

submit again the message since it says "you already posted a comment"..."
1. The anti posting measure can now be switch off
2. anti posting check is now done after form input validations. - BUG: Replying to a comment with special characters in the title was not working, tested in Firefox and IE
- BUG: Back end: Settings/InputForm/name field = Yes. BUT... name field in comment input form is still editable.
- Dear translations team, Ive duplicated new English keys in other files. (Hungarian, german)
OpenComment do not need Captcha (com_securityimages component) or Hashcash (com_Hashcash). And this because OpenComment use internally a sort of HASHCASH. This should be more than enough against spammers, If it ever failed, I will switch Captcha on in less than a day. I simply do not want to force users resolving a Captcha when I can propose something different.
Here also a freemind mindmap with what should be in that release.
Concerning the development, I must also says, that it is not a long term objective for me to try to make OpenComment a commercial grade application, at least not alone ;-). If You want a more complex/easy to use commenting system, maybe You'll have to look at OpenWordpress or any equivalent.
