Joomla

This is a guest blog post by Marcos Peebles from PIEZOWORKS.

So, Drupal got the White House, nice and a very positive move for Open Source in general and CMS's in particular. What about Joomla! and governmental sites?

We always want to know were we stand, don't we? Recently a typical internet buzz tried to imply Joomla! was for the dwarfs and that more serious CMS's got all the biggies. Is it true?

A reply from the very-naughty-boy hosting this blog on twitter to OSM President Ryan Ozimek, about a country using Joomla! got me going for a deeper look.

..on a live site.

Thats right I really did say don't install Joomla 1.6 Beta 1 and I encourage everyone else not to as well.

How can I say that?

Am I mad?

Am I saying it's rubbish?

Last week I met up again with David Towers for our semi regular lunch time gossip.

David has recently returned from a trip to the West African country of Ghana and it was great to hear all about his trip.

Ghana was the first sub-Saharan country to achieve independence from a Western imperial power, in 1957, and lies on the Prime Meridian so is one of the few countries that is in the same time zone as me, here in the UK.

It is also the second largest producer of Cocoa and one of the world's top gold producers.
