As some of you know, Joomla 3 has been forked and it's up and flying. Security fixes and more have been backported, in line with the recent releases.
Further more, development and support will continue in the future.
Github official repo and changelog:
github.com
Joomla 3 fork, currently at 3.14, is here to stay. Extensions restart is all that remains.
All Joomla extensions are GPL. No permission is needed to use, distribute or resell Joomla extensions:
Extensions and GPL - Joomla! Documentation
There are many good extensions for J3, simply abandoned and unsupported. There is no reason to remain that way.
We need people and some organizing. Who will take over what and how development will continue.
On a personal note, I have no issues with payment - but you pay the developer for support and for continuing developing useful extensions. Right now, there are few extensions left that are supported for J3. Abandonment was somewhat hasty, J 4/5/6 proved to be a disaster, everyone left (and versioning obession didn't help either).
Now things are sobering up.
Any developers interested in taking over good extensions, which were left unsupported, and continue development, note that there is much need for this, plus customers. As always, aim for quality, trusworthiness and solid work.
The J3 repo has a discussion forum, where you can inform users when something is available.
