Nooku announced on its blog that it too is creating a new Joomla Distribution, this one to focus on Multi-site capabilities. Nooku Server is currently being released to Nooku'sown Partner base first. Nooku's announcement comes on the heels of another distribution announcment from the Molajo team.

There's no word on how long that Partner-only distribution period will be, until they release it to the general community. Lead-time between announcement, pre-launch public relations and actual delivery date for many of leader Johan Janssen's projects has been notoriously long;  nevertheless, Janssen's team is worth watching, as they continue to innovate in the Joomla! community. See Nooku Server's announcement here.
