been awhile, apologies for being silent, i was engrossed deeply into my own project/world, and did not get any notification of replies from this post.

and am happy to find this forum and news is not dead, people actually answer my questions ! that is very good indeed.
so a bit about joomla news and progress, and a recap as to why i posted.
i am working on a personal project to allow users to have their own pages, and have done so, only that i am still wrestling with the many editors out there trying to be compatible to all. also i got my own set of bugs to fight and
having to comply to two joomla standards/versions is not easy, that much i can surely tell u !
however, i have succeeded, and will continue to progress and add on features to my app.
now on back to SNEWS,
i am still strongly contemplating to provide users with their own snews pages, even if it is as an option.
i feel that some breed of users may not be happy with mere HTML. they would want complete control of who
access their pages and how they would appear.
the idea is this. what i have now, allows users to make html pages and have their own folders.
but the dream of all users, really, is to have their own 'domain'.
meaning , not a fully paid cpaneled domain, but a directory of site, where they can call their own domain.
thi sis sufficient say for school children, or for small time business people who just control over their own "sites"
without the burden of the huge domains.
certainly they can afford their own domains, that is not the issue. the issue is, they do not have the know how to manager their own domain, and would not waste their time or risk making mistakes handling their own full fledged domain. they would rather settle for something small and mageable but productive. i would recommend so as well.
that said, SNEWS fits it very nicely. i ahve not seen any other appplication/project that comes close to SNEWS in terms of completeness and compactness.
now here the trouble. i am gasping for air having done several thousand lines of codes. they are all necessary, and in fact i have shrunk them and thrown out where and what i feel is fat, and tried to make it as lean as possible.
that leaves me with very little time to test out and debug other apps, i am still not done with my own.
finally here comes the big question...

is there anyone here willing to work with me to make this happen ?
this = SNEWS implementable as a standalone add on to any joomla website.
the idea is a small package that plugs in into any joomla website directory and becomes immediately a mini-website
taking advantage of the joomla framework, while at the same time remian independent enough for users to have complete control over their directory/site.
i guess this is directed to the SNEWS debvelopers, but i am open to anyone who can and is wililng to habndle the SNEWS part of the works. i am willing to cross over help one in a while of course, it would perhaps be essential.
above all, i want this to be fun work. if it ain't goint to be fun, i ain't doing it.

the project i work on will be GPL, general public licensed, but support isn't free and is quite pricey.
they are intended for large serios users, not kids wanting to impress their mates on their page making capability.
SNEWS, looks to me to be very professional. it is that professionalism which i am hoping can be extended to more users.
adios, have a nice day !
