Joomla! X Clean Base Branch
This branch contains the current development of Joomla! X (currently, X == 4), based on a clean-base approach.
Why Clean Base?
We honestly tried an incremental approach, i.e., to transform J!3 into J!4 using small steps. The tight coupling and non-sufficient test coverage, however, makes it extremely hard to apply a state-of-the-art architecture.
It was suggested to start from a fresh ground, the clean base, to create the basic architecture, and to port existing functionality in a second step. The J!4 Architecture Team decided to try this approach.
The "Chris Davenport Happy Milestone" (CDHM)
The team defined a milestone, named after the team member, Chris Davenport, who brought up the requirements. You can see the original document here: docs/j4cdhms.md.
The final decision is made, when the milestone is reached, or it shows out, that it can not be reached with the clean base approach.
Installation
As there is no installer yet, a manual installation is required.
Check out this branch (clean-base), and run
$ composer installContribute
Joomla! X is a big endeavour, and it surely needs some more hands on it.
