Joomla! Revolution!



After faithfully serving the wider Melbourne Joomla community, the JoomlaMUG site is being reborn as the penultimate industry based hub for all things Joomla across Melbourne.

Why is this so?

This site has held the same position on major search engines since launch, and it's time to give something back to the community. This will benefit businesses, resellers, designers and end users of Joomla across Melbourne, Victoria and Australia.

This will include
  • SEO training for Joomla
  • Site critiques of new Australian Joomla based (or sister codebase) sites
  • A better job board, allowing reputation management between studios and clients.


Making Joomla! better

Written by Lawrence

The discussions which came out of the second Melbourne Joomla! User Group meeting surrounded ways of making Joomla! and the associated third party software better.

Ways that were suggested:
  • Unify or converge the Community Builder and ACL development pools
  • Mature the events and calendar applications to interact with ACL. Some already integrate with CB, but it needs more flow on benefits.
  • Simplify the process from a users perspective of managing the 3rd Party application stack. Having 1300 components, modules and plugins to choose from, whilst showing a wide range of choice, stops cross fertilsation and management. How does the end user know they are picking the right application for their needs?
The JoomlaMUG was also seen in action..
