The focus of Anahita Social Engine 0.9.3 release was mainly to improve the template structure, views, and developing a set of standard CSS tags for the social engine and other existing applications. Before this release, our implementation was trying to accommodate every possible case scenario, but soon we learned that it was rather adding more to the complexity of the system than providing new options to the developers, so we decided to simplify, simplify, simplify instead!
We have also developed the first set of CSS tags that are descriptive and name-spaced properly so they won’t conflict with any other Joomla extensions that will be running on the same system.

We will be presenting the Anahita Social Engine ™ at the Vancouver BarCamp 2009 on October 3rd. Click on the banner to register and buy tickets.
We would like to announce the release of Anahita 0.9.3 (Code Catmint) to our partners and the immediate start of the version 0.9.4 development following the Anahita roadmap
The focus of version 0.9.3 has been to improve the Anahita templating, revise a standard CSS tag structure, and refactor all the Views so the core team and partners could start developing and configuring their project sites. We have also put in just about good enough basic tools for those who wish start developing social apps by using the Anahita Social ™ Discussions and Photos as the first blue prints for developing social apps.
Developing templates for Anahita is now not much different than developing templates for Joomla, the only issue that we are still dealing with is that Anahita is using the Mootools 1.2.3 and Joomla 1.5 is still using Mootools 1.1 so if there are modules that are developed for the old version of Mootools they may not work in the Anahita environment.
All the template outputs, social engine and social apps CSS code are over-writable at the template level. We are also looking into ways so even the Javascript libraries will become re-writable so those who wish to write their own custom javascript code for a particular social web project be able to do so.
We will be writing a blog post about template customization for Anahita, and thanks to the Joomla’s superb template engine and Nooku Framework, Anahita is now powered with one of the finest template engines available today.
