			<description><![CDATA[@Yannick Gaultier: The Wordpress upgrade system is great. When you login to your back-end there is a little speech bubble above the "Plugins" tab that says how many of your plugins (regardless of whether they are activated or not) have updates available. You go to the plugins page and each plugin with an update has an "Upgrade plugin" link. Clicking on that link does the following: 1. Deactivates the plugin 2. Fetches the latest zip from the Wordpress repository 3. Unpacks and installs it 4. Checks it 5. Reactivates the plugin It really is that simple. I think if Joomla doesn't create a similar system soon, they are going to get left behind and lose a lot of existing and future users. Regarding upgrading the Joomla core, it is a slightly less elegant solution. There is a notification of an upgrade that displays in the back-end. You then have to download the zip file and install the upgrade yourself *gasp*. For Joomla there is a great upgrader component that you can get from http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,6259/Itemid,35/]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Jonathan, Can you expand a little bit on wordpress upgrade system for the core and also for plugins ? I have looked a little bit into it, and can't find anything like what you describe. Even wordpress codex explain how to upgrade wordpress as downloading and unzipping files. I have found a plugin that does automatically upgrade wordpress core, called waup at http://techie-buzz.com/wordpress-plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade-plugin.html. Is it obsolete ? I have not found however any reference to automatic/assisted update while browsing the plugin repository at wordpress.org Rgds]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Oh. Bummer. I take that last comment back. I have now clicked through to the extension you were referring to. I was already familiar with the Intellispire (commercial) solution. I don't think users should have to pay for this sort of feature. It's so fundamental to an efficient CMS system. So the wait for a free and potentially built-in solution continues... Also, if I recall correctly, Intellipire's solution only supports extensions they have chosen to include. I guess the lack of a central Joomla extension repository is a major hindrance. Hopefully Joomla.org makes moves toward a central repository. Wordpress have had this for years now. Cheers all the same... Jonathan]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This has been my biggest reason for not using Joomla in place of my various wordpress sites. I saves many many hours every month because Wordpress lets me automatically update the plugins and update the core installation. I am really happy to see tangible progress finally being made toward this functionality on Joomla. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!!

			<description><![CDATA[Nick - glad to see that you have taken on board peoples comments. You're quite correct the history of authentication of joomla extensions has traditionaly been week especialy as there have historicaly been several download sites. If your initiative goes someway to encouring developers to sign their downloads and provide md5sums then it will be great.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Just wanted to respond to some changes we've made ... @Brian Teeman: That can happen even if you get it from the developers website - Joomla! packages just aren't as well thought out RPMs. However, to help address this problem - we are starting to include the MD5 signatures of extensions in the manifest, and will shortly start to compare them. I'd love to see people start to use signatures on their packages as well. I realize you won't be an early adopter of this technology, but we *are* listening and responding to concerns. @Yannick Gaultier: the problem is with VirtueMart, I found your post and applied your patch - eveything works. I'll contact you directly ... but maybe people here can respond: how do we appropriately respond to this? For now,I'll just document it. Also, as far as legality of distribution: we only distribute GPL compatible code (which is licensed for distribution by definition), or where we have explicit authors permission. Even then, if an author decides to opt out - as the Community Builder has opted out for 1.2 for now. We listen. This is intended to be a service to the community, and not to force anything on anyone who doesn't want it. Anyway, I appreciate all the support received so far. Thank you.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi All, @Nick Temple : good product you are having here. As a side note, if you are aware of any problem in sh404sef that breaks Virtuemart, please contact me with a patch(shumisha at gmail dot com), or at least exact description of the problem. I have spent 2 weeks in July working on this issue, only to find a number of VM bugs (many 1.5 extensions are broken with SEF URL, mostly because they use relative links), which VM team was made aware, and were supposedly included in last release 1.1.2. I have not gotten back yet to testing VM with SEF urls Cheers]]></description>
