NYCPHP Meetup

[Donna Marie Vincent]

Laura, 


Saying "fix it yourself" is not a productive response, since there are so many bugs.  It's shameful that they released these versions as stable.  I might be able to debug a few things here and there, which I did yesterday when I posted a solution to something that several people were asking about and there was no answer for, but I cannot work full-time to debug everything.  

The core developers are now being paid and OSM is capable of raising funds.  I've been a big fan of Joomla since the beginning, but OSM is not keeping Joomla up with the competition.  I'm not in the inner circle so I don't know what the issues are, but Joomla is in big trouble.

Donna

I have to agree on Scott with this one...if you see bugs, or room for improvement, contact the joomla.org team and make a difference.  

Visit, http://www.joomla.org/about-joomla/contribute-to-joomla.html and see what you can do to make it better.

It makes no sense that Joomla is now extremely buggy when we had a stable 1.5.  The core team used to be all volunteers.  Now they are being paid and Joomla has not gotten much better and in some ways worse.  I think it's time for another fork.  There were many good 3rd party admin tools that could have been incorporated and they weren't.

>>On other Joomla matters, I recently stumbled across an article, "How WordPress Beat Joomla" on Weblog Tools Collection, a website devoted to WordPress. The author, an Australian website designer, doesn't trash Joomla, but he mentions how WordPress was able to make quick changes that helped boost its popularity.

>>I don't completely agree with him, especially the part where bases CMS popularity on Google searches, but he brings up some interesting points.
