Thanks everybody for your personal view on this Mambo year.
For me it was a very stormy year full of ups and downs. It started with the birth of my daughter in january. I love her very much, but I never thought that someone soo small can produce so much work...
In February I decided to move the Mamboportal.com forums to a new domain. I therefore registered Mambers.com.
In March Mamboportal.com moved to a brand new root server. This gave me much more flexibility, bandwidth and made the whole experience for the user much more faster.
In April we started Mambers.com. But the first month was a desaster. Although the new website was used by the Mambers around the world, I lost nearly 75% of the moderation crew again. Since then some forums are still unmoderated.
In May I started another Mambo website: Mamble.com. Although it is only visited by about 750 people daily, it became the largest links directory for Mambo. I hope I can get it to 1k visitors/daily untill May next year, otherwise I sadly have to drop the project again.
In May I also dropped my job and started to life from computer skills. I coded my first commercial product, AkoForms, which became a big success for me.
In August I meet my first Mambo friends in real life, the german moderation crew of Mambers.com. Together we invented the Mamboday, which will become reality in May next year.
In November I started MamboFAQ.com. They website should become a large directory for frequently asked questions. Sadly I did not find the time at the end of the year to setup a maintenance team and to promote the website. This has been delayed to next year.
In December my next project, MamboShop.com, started a first public testing. It will be a large shopping system for multiple sellers. This project will also start next year.
The rest of the year was nearly business as usual for me. I updated Mamboportal.com nearly daily. I released a few commercial templates over the year. And I changed hundreds of nappies...
