Hey all,

I'm relatively new to Kohana, but I'm finding it really great to work with and I'd like to contribute in some way to the community and help make Kohana even better.

I've seen some mentions around the forum before that 'module x should be ported from Kohana 2.x', so I wanted to get some suggestions of modules that you guys think would be useful to have for KO3 that I could have a crack at. I'd also be willing to have a go at porting CI modules over, so if anyone has any ideas on that front please add them here.

Cheers

Hi LordZicon, I see you are very active at the forum lately :) Welcome to Kohana!
I'm using the 2.x for long, but have only just recently started with my first 3.x project. I might say that I'm 'new' here thus as well :)

With regard to the modules, I would not know of any module that I miss right now.
However, if you could think of a nice place to keep track of the *existing* modules, that would be great!
There are tons of modules around, but I never seem to be able to find them.

Cheers

Two good resources for finding modules on Github are http://github.com/kolanos/kohana-universe and http://kohana.mongeslani.com/ or just search for kohana + whatever it is you need.

@willemmulder - Thanks for the welcome :) As for the module list, there's already master list of KO3 modules on github at http://github.com/kolanos/kohana-universe/tree/master/modules/ - I can't remember how I came across it, but it's been really useful.

I've starting working on the [OAuth Service APIs](http://github.com/shadowhand/apis) and have started to implement Twitter, but could really use some help to get Google and LinkedIn up and running.

Hi LordZicon,

Would you please consider porting OpenId module to KO3? Preferably by using php OpenId (http://www.janrain.com/openid-enabled) as the 3rd-party library instead of porting the KO2 OpenId module (http://dev.kohanaframework.org/projects/openid) as the former seems to be more actively maintained.

Thanks in advance! :)

LordZicon

@shadowhand - I've not got any experience of OAuth stuff, but I'd be interested in taking a look. I'll email you to get some more details.

@Lukman - Thanks for the links, I'll take a look and see what I can do.

@Slacker and @LordZicon, thanks for these links, that was exactly what I needed!
(These links should be included in the official userguide)
Mongeslani and kolanos did a nice job there :)

I created a module that simulates an ODBMS with MySQL.
It is not finished, but you might have a look at it, if you find it interesting...
The only thing I need to know then, is how Git and VCS in general work... I have never gotten around to look at it. Any good resource?

Take a look at the user guide.
There are aditional resources listed under "More information to get you on the track"

willemmulder

Thanks. Is there any Git resource anybody can recommend personally?

Some good basics are sumed up here: http://help.github.com/
The only thing, that got me thinking, was the problem how to handle submodules inside submodules (for example, Kohana 3 Mailer module on github has swiftmailer as a submodule, but its directory was empty after Mailer 'git submodule add'). The solution was to go to the top submodule directory and run 'git submodule update' from there.

I will check it out, and then come back with specific questions. Thank so far!

LordZicon

@Lukman - I've just come across another OpenID module which looks like it's for KO3, might be worth checking out: http://code.google.com/p/kohanamodules/wiki/Openid

@willemmulder - I found the Github help pages really useful for getting up and running. They also link to the Git Reference site, which looks useful (If you're using Windows, here's a blog post on getting started with Git and Github on Windows).

slacker

@willemmulder - There is also http://progit.org/book/

Thanks a bunch, I will check it all out when I have time! :)
