JRD Status: April 2 - 16, 2019

• Three new approvals: 1) le5 GmbH Switzerland, 2), Bluepoint eCommerce Netherlands, and 3) E-BASE.GR
• One not approved due to lack of community involvement and company site was built in WordPress
• Approvals total: 442

Topics

Users versus Contacts?

• Attempted to use con_contacts but then realized there’s nothing on the front end to create a new contact
• Keep them out of com_users to leave Joomla id alone
• Conclusion at this point is to use com_content and not com_users or com_contacts
• Using com_content gives us a separation of concern between permissions (com_users) and listings (com_content) that they are managing.

Multi-select

• Currently no limitation for number of categories in Joomla core that a user can select
• We have to figure out how to constrain to 3 categories

Registration Process (proposed)

• Standard Joomla registration then “create your listing”

Language overrides - no need if we use articles

Full Description

• Length limit? - 2500 characters
• Safe HTML? - decision to make it available

Annual renewal listing confirmation 

• looks promising to use the privacy suite from core
