We would like to tell you about a new and exciting component that we have just began coding. We should have it finished by November 1st for release. We call it Impacture. 

For a long time I've wondered why commenting on articles hasn't been a stock feature in Joomla.  For the most part, I think probably 90% of websites today use the function as an essential way to allow publishers to communicate with their audience and gain valuable feedback from them.

Yesterday Water & Stone released the first extensive survey of market share in the open source content management system market. The survey shows that three systems lead the race: WordPress, Joomla! and Drupal. The survey concludes that these three systems have opened up a large lead on the rest of the pack to become the dominant brands in the market. What remains to be seen is which of these three brands will emerge as the leader.

 The first extensive report written on market share in the open source CMS market. Covers 19 of the most popular systems in 50+ pages. Looks at a wide variety of both traditional and Web 2.0 metrics. Useful for anyone looking to commit to a web publishing system.

What is your take on the future of the Joomla CMS software project?

I noticed the new community portal at joomla.org this weekend.

I would love to know what the value of this site is. I was not impressed.
