Are you a savvy PHP developer looking for a quick start? Here's everything you need to know at a glance:

1. Take the time to watch a few of the site owner screencasts – they will help you understand what makes concrete5 unique from the rest.

2. Check out the developer documentation area within Help.

3. Be sure to get active in the developer forums.

4. Join us on IRC for some more immediate back and forth.

5. Consider joining the Services or Hosting Partner Programs for faster answers to your questions, and to get access to the tools you need to really make concrete5 a core part of your business.

Beta Team

Have you got some extra time to test the latest and greatest? We'd love to have your help. Request membership to the beta team and you can access the private beta-only forums, bug tracker, and our most recent build from subversion right here.

Who is on the core team?

Franz and Andrew are your concrete5 founders.
Tony and Ryan have been with the company since before v.5 was released.

If someone else is using the "royal we" or telling you something's impossible or going to happen, they are probably a very passionate volunteer. ;)

Some things we could use help on.

It's no secret we're not your typical open source project. We had five years of commercial versions released before going FOSS and we're not funded by some huge company. We tend to like to do things our own way, and we're shooting for a perfect solution – not a politically correct one. What we could really use help on is:

1. Tell your friends. If you like concrete5, we need you to tell everyone you know to check it out. Post a testimonial, follow us on Twitter, favorite us on all your bookmarking sites. Write up something for your blog – whatever you can do to help promote the cause we deeply appreciate.

2. Internationalization. We have translations into approximately a dozen languages today that all need to be kept up to date. We'd like a dozen more. If you speak another language, we really need your help.

3. Theme conversion. There are thousands of free themes out there on the web, there's a few dozen in our marketplace. We'd like to change that. If you've got a free hour, consider converting a theme – we'll make sure you get credit for it.

4. Marketplace add-ons. We're working on e-commerce and forums, but there's a huge opportunity for other developers to bang out all the little widgets that folks expect of a flushed out add-on library. We're happy to help you sell stuff in our marketplace as well.

All versions and patches, ever.

Sourceforge does an okay job of hosting the latest and greatest version of concrete5, but here's an archive of every version and patch, just in case you need it. Eventually this page will have the international builds ready to go out of the box as well.
