Yes, way too long ago. Within the last days I found some time and finally brought the panelBar plugin to a state that I might want to consider a beta. It has been a complete rewrite with lots of code improvements, more stable ways of create custom elements and a lot more. ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/6/6a72044514809278941bc59f8be242c97574374e.png) ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/6/6482a24a97e2dabce860ad5d3945d8d93f05a32b.png) ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/2/289f31a06ca568d65e141c21a6d3a9ece82b71c2.png) Now I am looking for people who are eager to actually get a working panelBar plugin and who would be willing to help testing, bring up ideas, contribute… You really do not have to be a great coder, finding bugs, giving suggestions about improvements and new features are as welcome as bugfixes and pull requests. **You can find the panelBar 2.0.0 beta on its develop branch: [https://github.com/distantnative/panel-bar/tree/develop](https://github.com/distantnative/panel-bar/tree/develop)** ---

Looks great, a client of mine could like it. Is there a way to contribute translations? ---

Translations are not yet in place, I opened an issue and will try to implement a way to provide translations for elements as well as core translations soon. ---
