Hi Folks, I just wanted to drop in and add a few thoughts to this thread.
The Molajo project was first announced, and we first started work on it, in October of last year - less than one year ago. At J and Beyond this year we announced a new direction for Molajo that would help showcase one of the many potential uses for the Joomla platform. This new direction meant that instead of creating a distribution of Joomla we would create a new application utilizing the Joomla platform. We have been making good progress since this change in May, and you can follow along at https://github.com/organizations/Molajo. Molajo has not reached Alpha yet, but we do anticipate a release in the upcoming months. Hopefully you'll like what we've done.
