For those of you who missed our January 27th virtual meeting, we have a recording plus a transcript of the chat.  The focus of the meeting was on answering miscellaneous how-to questions from our members.  As it was off the cuff and unrehearsed, the pace was not exactly smooth and I apologize for the inordinate number of "ums", "uhs", and "ers" as my brain misfired.

Quick Glance

Joomla! is a powerful core framework that speeds developing a website and creating functionality, but the real secret to Joomla’s power lies in the wealth of extensions (plugins) available to add capabilities and functions. Many of these extensions use a GPL license like Joomla! (free), while some are commercial (require payment).

There are currently over 2200 extensions listed at http://extensions.joomla.org. They include such functionality as dynamic form builders, directory services, document management, image and multimedia galleries, e-commerce and shopping cart engines, forums and chat software, calendars, blogging software, newsletters systems, subscription services, community sites, and many, many more.
