NYCPHP Meetup

[Donna Marie Vincent]

Greg, why do you say "he may actually be making valid points" while in the next 
sentence admitting "I can't speak to the veracity of Alec's statements"?

I can tell you that this article is inaccurate.  The author says Joomla has a 
built-in forum.  Joomla does NOT.  He says the SEO plugin is encrypted.  Joomla 
is GPL, so where's the encryption.  What is he referring to here, the SEF?  That 
is definitely not encrypted.  


Most people who knock Joomla haven't looked at it since 1.0, when it was Mambo.

I don't know why he's calling it a fractured community.  Most people using 
Joomla in 2011 don't even know there is a Mambo.  Mambo has gone the way of 
phpNuke.  It's off the map.  Their last security announcement was 05-09-2009.

Perhaps. But he may actually be making valid points that are hard for an 
entrenched community to hear due to their loyalty to a product they’ve worked 
with for years. Being new to Joomla, I can’t really speak to the veracity of 
Alec’s statements, but his problems with Joomla seem to be grounded in the core 
codebase, something many Joomla site designers/developers probably know little 
about. Sounds like good fodder for discussion though.
