This week we met in two working groups to tackle the last of the remaining approvals. At this point, we are planning to have ALL of the applications reviewed and responded to within two weeks, or by January 28th. Please make sure your listing is complete to ensure fast approval.

We will be sending out a newsletter in a week to update all current and former JRD applicants of our status on approvals so the community stays in the loop.

We agreed to sunset the archive of the old JRD which is on Joomla 1.5 on April 1st, 2015. If you have not applied to the JRD and are on the old Resources Directory, now is the time to prevent losing any SEO.

A couple of members of our group will convene this week to discuss the implementation of a disaster recovery plan in the case the the site is comprimised in the future. These notes will be catalogued in the Teams JRD Google Docs. 

Translations of the JRD into Portugeuse are moving forward and should be completed by the first quarter of 2015, hopefully before Joomla Day Brazil. While the listings must be in English, the pages and other permanent content will be in Portugeuse. This is the first of many languages to come and is based on volunteer status. Right now we have volunteers for French and Spanish too which will come later. We discussed the possibility of having the listings be in other languages, but we will need to revisit this in April.

This week we will review the status of the badges for the JRD and provide an ETA on that piece.
