So the big guy on the block in Joomla SEF, OpenSEF, has now gone missing. He got up and left and told nobody. Now some sites like http://www.alledia.com's OpenSEF Review , which is rather good, will give you the wrong url for OpenSEF, presenting is as J-Prosolution.com, and it used to be there (that is where I initially downloaded it to use in all of our packages), but I looked today to get the latest version and it was missing. It turns out that OpenSEF has been abandoned by the initial developers, and perhaps rightly so, it had turned into a rather large application in itself. The work must have been very time consuming, and when you're working with open source, free software rarely pays the bills.
Good thing though. OpenSEF was such a great Joomla component that another group of people picked it up and continued developmet. The new link (until they get tired of it) can be found at http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/nusef/. They Changed the name to nuSEF (pronouced "new" ess -e -eff). This is novel and noble of them and their attempts to keep OpenSEF going under a new name but at the same time it was a bit confusing. But hopfully this post can help others, social bookmark it if it fits your adgenda, help others find OpenSEF. Special thanks to Marko Schmuck and his team of developers for refreshing OpenSEF under nuSEF. Now the question, "Where Can I Find OpenSEF?" may finally be answered.
