More Please
I want to encourage more Joomla! on this site as well. Thanks for bringing it up jevansjr.
Joomla! is a pretty solid system and a lot of people use it. While, I'm a drupaler I'm very supportive of Joomla! and it's users. I would love to see more of it on G&G and more tools to help Christian web devs building Joomla! sites.
Personally, I would test out Joomla if I wasn't already coding custom solutions, with drupal, with the Zend Framework, and with Symfony. There's just no time to pick up another tool :).

Joomla
Hey,
I LOVE my Drupal....Even thought I'm still like a lost boy in a toy store with it. But I did download Joomla and Wordpress out of curiosity. I've noticed a good number of Youth With a Mission websites are built with Joomla. So I plan to look into Joomla a little more.
But I wanted to thank ya'll for still having forums about other CMS's. Because it would be easy to just have a DRUPAL ONLY site. But I think it takes character, and a little guts, to do what ya'll do!
Good bless you fellas!

Nice Site!
I like the site!
I personally love Joomla! I have designed a bunch of sites on the platform and the community of developers supporting it are amazing! I would be happy to see more developers talking about Joomla here. I am planning on showing our stuff we have developed on Joomla, once it is ready for the public.
Since Joomla appears to be a minority on this site, I wanted to encourage it's use. I just recently upgraded our church site, www.westhillbaptist.com, to a completely native Joomla 1.5 site. Here's a breakdown of what I used in addition to the built-in apps.

Front Page Slideshow - Showcases our recent events and makes it easy to put our people on the front page.
