[01:03am] <JohnnyL> Merry Shrismas!
[04:58am] <kroo_foods is now known as appl.
[04:58am] <appl is now known as kroo_.
[7:06pm] <Edgar1> Im a web developer and i have find a little job...it consist in using joomla mostly as administrator and developer, Im learning how to use it.
[7:07pm] <Edgar1> what do you think about joomla and CMS? useful or useless?
[7:11pm] <ashb> what's joomla?
[7:11pm] <Edgar1> its a content manangement software
[7:12pm] <Edgar1> something like drupal
[7:12pm] <ashb> got anything to do with JS?
[7:12pm] <Edgar1> well, let says that yes
[7:12pm] <ashb> CMSs can be useful in general
[7:12pm] <ashb> it depends exactly what oyu need them for and how much of that htey do already (inc with plugins) and if not how easy they are to extend
[7:13pm] <MisterN> i suppose that ashb knows what joomla is, and just wants to point out that it is not very related to commonjs
[7:13pm] <ashb> didn't actually - had to google it
[7:13pm] <MisterN> hmm
[7:13pm] <Edgar1> MisterN well a lot of modules in Joomla runs Javascript
[7:13pm] <Edgar1> so it may be some relation
[7:13pm] <ashb> client side JS tho i'm guessing?
[7:13pm] <MisterN> ashb> surprises me. even i have heard of joomla, and i'm a c++ guy
[7:13pm] <ashb> i dont do CMS generally
[7:13pm] <Edgar1> ashb yes
[7:15pm] <MisterN> ashb> yeah sure, i haven't used it either.. but you know, there's this expectation that people know about some stuff even if they don't use it
[7:15pm] <ashb> i like to ignore things
[7:15pm] <ashb> Edgar1> what was your question anyway?
[7:16pm] <Edgar1> i just want some opinions
[7:16pm] <ashb> ah cant help them
[7:16pm] <Edgar1> hehe
[7:16pm] <MisterN> Edgar1> maybe try #joomla or #php ?
[7:17pm] <Edgar1> well, they will give me some reasons for go and use joomla, but i want opinions
[7:17pm] <Edgar1> even if are critics
[7:18pm] <ashb> then try #durpal
[7:18pm] <evilstreak> I would wager most people in this channel have never tried joomla
[7:18pm] <ashb> aks they other side for why theirs is better
[7:18pm] <MisterN> also ask the joomla guys why drupal is worse than joomla
[7:18pm] <evilstreak> I'm a pointlessly-roll-your-own-cms kinda guy personally
[7:18pm] <MisterN> evilstreak> that's just perfect, because then you can do it with juice.
[7:18pm] <evilstreak>
[7:18pm] <evilstreak> working on it
[7:19pm] <evilstreak> soon we'll have markdown good enough to use
[7:19pm] <Edgar1>
[7:19pm] <ashb> i have specific demands for 'good enough'
[7:19pm] <ashb> specifically that is easy enough to extend for new dialects without having to re-write everything
[7:20pm] <ashb> and that produces well-formed hmtl out
[7:20pm] <ashb> and that gives you a (markdown) tree you can munge/cache
[7:20pm] <MisterN> ashb> woah crazy demand. next time you'll ask for functions that aren't named $Fcta
[7:20pm] <ashb> i know! how will the world cope
