The inactivity of the Qcodo project has proved frustrating to many.  I'm happy to announce that Open Source has triumphed, and several community members have banded together to fork Qcodo.

The new project is called QCubed.  Currently, there is a website, issue tracker, wiki, forum, public SVN access and support chat room available at the links below.

To celebrate this fork, and to show how serious the people behind QCubed are, we've prepared a new release of QCubed, fixing several known issues with the last Qcodo release.  The first release of QCubed is available for immediate download using the links below.

QCubed 1.0.0 RC1 <http://tinyurl.com/6ho7rz>, forked from Qcodo 0.3.43.
Changelog <http://tinyurl.com/6p8uty>

Wiki - <http://trac.qcu.be/projects/qcubed/wiki/>
Issue Tracker - <http://trac.qcu.be/projects/qcubed/report/3>

SVN - <http://svn.qcu.be/qcubed>
Support Chat - <http://qcu.be/chat>

Please use the links above to find out more information.

It is significant to note who is behind this fork.  QCubed has truly been a community effort.

Ryan Peters - ICOM Productions <http://icomproductions.ca/>
Kristof Meirlaen - Kri-Soft <http://kri-soft.be/>
Marcos Sanchez - thinkClear <http://thinkclear.com.ar/>
Rodney Holm - Vulabs <http://vulabs.com>
Mike Hostetler - A Mountain Top, LLC <http://amountaintop.com>

The companies above are currently collaborating to provide a more unified QCubed product and will be offering paid support soon.

Long Live QCubed!

Congratulations!
I really think that start with a new fork will give us a freedom that we hadn't yet, and I truly hope this project became more active than QCodo and more strong than ZCodo
Long live to this new effort, QCubed!

Saludos y felicitaciones!!

Alvaro

Why not to keep QCodo name? it is well known and sounds better than ZCodo or QCubed.
It is difficult for us to follow the strategy. We only want Qcodo releases restart... Why there is no more communication about QCodo, even to say qcodo is completly dead?
I'm really desapointed because I was hoping in QCodo since the fist versions. Could someone give us the precise technical reasons why QCodo stopped?

Artnum: Qcodo has been dead for a long time.

Last release was Sunday, February 24, 2008.But that's not the only problem. As developers, we hadn't got the possibility to see if someone was working on the framework or if it was stagnated.

We created Qcubed trying to get the best of Qcodo but without the faults of it.
Qcubed IS NOT a one man's framework. It's a community framework, where everybody can easily see if development is stagnated or not, if bugs are found and patched, contribute making patchs, documentation, bug reports, etc.

If we want change , we need to change. That's why Qcubed was created.

ok, but it has not been said clearly by Mike Ho, if it will restart or no.
I can't understand why Mike Ho, the QCodo creator, leave the framework dying without putting a message on the home page site, for example : “This framework is no more maintened”.  

I encourage you with QCubed !!

hi,

I know there is a lot of work with QCubed, and don't want to borrow you, but

To increase the popularity of QCubed, I could see a fundamental evolution:
 
    Make an encapsulation of extJS components (like GWT has done... ExtJS is more and more popular and GWT(java) more and more popular, there is a place for PHP here... no?).

just an idea.
have you already thought about that?

I have tryed before to make some extJS 2.0 Qcodo controls, but I found it too much complex (and found some incompatibility with ExtViewPort - traced in this forum -, so I stoped)
...

and then... an GUI designer/generator ! :)  ............(in my dreams, but one day...)

Hello,

We are indeed investigating on how to build on existing JS frameworks such as JQuery, Prototype, extJS, ...  Feel free to provide your input on
<http://trac.qcu.be/projects/qcubed/ticket/4>

And yeah, we have thought about a GUI designer/generator as well :)
That is also 'in the works'. A first effort to go there has been done by Mike Hostetler who is working on an XML based code generator, which also allows to generate “pages” based on the XML.
If later we could build a tool that could generate an XML based on a GUI designer, we could generate complete QCodo pages from that GUI :)

As you can see, we are trying to push QCubed beyond what current frameworks are offering.  It will take some time, but be assured that it will happen!

artnum-

Indeed, we have several advancements in the works for QCubed.  In addition to the ticket roadmap linked from the wiki, there are currently discussions happening around what the next major features of QCubed will be.  If you'd like to participate, please join us in the chat room.

Mike
