Tesco is the third largest retailer in the world just behind Wal-Mart and Carrefour.
When a global company with annual profits exceeding £3billion per year adopts Joomla! you know it's not about the price.
Today they announced the launch of their online learning portal, AcademyOnline, for over 400,000 staff around the world using Joomla and Moodle.

Did you know - there will be no comments in Joomla 1.6?
Joomla 1.6 was slated to have three big features
- Nested Categories
- ACL
- Comments
Recently in an IRC chat Andrew Eddie confirmed that "comments" will not be in Joomla 1.6
As the explanation of what I feel is a major announcement is buried in a comment, how ironic is that, on that irc chat.

At the recent Joomla!Day in the Netherlands I gave my recollections of the turbulent and traumatic process involved.

Almost a year a go I wrote a proposal for a "Joomla Supporters Club"
Unfortunately perhaps the timing wasn't right and despite positive comments from the Joomla community the idea sadly fell on deaf ears.
Which suprised me as it was one of the most read items on this blog in the year
In the last few weeks several people have contacted me about trying again.
So never being one to give up at the first attempt I'm making another attempt to get this off the ground.
Perhaps now is the right time to finally get the Joomla! Supporters Club up and running.
Who is the Joker in the Joomla pack?
