			<description><![CDATA[Having an army of testers who are using nearly every combination of technology available proving and improving the base of your software is smart. The dollar savings in not having to staff for that, alone, is becoming obvious. Then, being able then to take that core base and create unique and engaging solutions that look like and behave like no other site around -- knowing that those solutions will work in diverse settings -- knowing that others with vested interest will also help resolve problems discovered - well, what more could you want?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I definitely agree Joseph. In JCE there's even an icon called "Paste from Word" that makes it very easy to just cut-and-paste from Word directly into Joomla. JCE costs around $10 ... I don't think many / any of us will get rich in this period, but I wouldn't swap places with the "enterprise" CMS salesman: Gains are likely to be modest by the company]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yeah, Costco is probably a friendlier example ;-) A lot of companies are realizing that for all the time and money you can spend on these "enterprise" CMS packages, you can hire a firm to customize Joomla! or Drupal for you. I specifically remember one CMS touting the ability to publish webpages based on uploaded Word documents. "This is something secretaries can do!" the salesperson exclaimed. The thing is, it doesn't take that much time to train someone to do the same thing by editing a specific Joomla! page.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Pretty much agree with you apart from the desire to be a Walmart. From what I hear from this side of the pond Walmart might not be the most community orientated company or staff welfare friendly.]]></description>
