			<description><![CDATA[Steve, Nice article :-) Im with you on this and dont see a problem with more commercial funding of core talent, providing the project listens to the community and not 'the company'. By the way your link in the first line to cmsexpo goes to a joomla 404 page ;-) Paul]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["... but its certainly striking to look at the frontpage of the CMSExpo site and see the disparity in resources available to the projects." Having 'wasted' a few years of my asp.net life and using DotNetNuke, I think a strong case could be made, which was sort of presented already, that there isn't a strong tie between funding and community growth/performance/improvement. :-) Give Shaun Walker a few more million and perhaps he'll get his own core forum module working that has been broke and a work-in-progress for two years now; less than ironically, I have been using Joomla for two years now, leaving the DNN prject after the last release SNAFU. ;-)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks Amy and Ryan for the feedback. Sounds like you too are talking on similar lines ... getting companies more involved in supporting the project. I really don't know what the answer is, but its certainly striking to look at the frontpage of the CMSExpo site and see the disparity in resources available to the projects.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Steve, as a point of clarification - Wilco is an Open Source Matters board member, rather than core. Don't forget, Angie Byron, the developer leading Drupal 7.0 is from Lullabot, not Acquia. There are easily ten very strong companies in Drupal, in addition to Acquia and Lullabot, who help fund development through salaries to their own employees. Drupal is still very much a community driven project -- they simply have a more mature ecosystem. Joomla's ecosystem is starting to strengthen. This next year or two, I expect we will see several strong development companies emerge offering Joomla! support and services. Those companies will help fund development through salaries to their employees and time allowances for contributing code as part of their job responsibilitie s. These companies will choose to contribute because there is benefit to do so. I agree with your point on the importance of supporting the ecosystem. Towards that end, I would like to see the Joomla! project focus efforts on helping small businesses thrive. Andrew Eddie's proposal calling for a Services Directory is a good initiative for that purpose. Continuing to open the project for broader community involvement is also good. I would be very concerned to see the Joomla! project, itself, pay developers. Not only would that dampen community engagement, but it would also impact the growth of the ecosystem around the project. I believe the project itself should keep moving towards engaging and empowering the community -- in doing so, the community will take care of the commercializati on in a free market. I think we are heading in good directions. I think it's working. It just takes time.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Steve, You're asking the right questions at the right time, particularly during this terrific opportunity for the community and the project to continue to grow. This is an extremely interesting time in Joomla's life, and I would suspect that much like its past, Joomla will trailblaze a new path forward. One area I'd really like to continue to hear of new ideas is how small businesses can support Joomla's development. Understanding that the key developer leadership in our community essentially provides all their labor for free is something that this massive community is beginning to realize is a tremendous gift. It makes sense to me that these developers need to feed their families, while at the same time the community could certainly use their talent to help us build the future of Joomla. If you have ideas as to how Joomla can yet again trailblaze forward, I'm always open to suggestions! Drop me a line at sponsors {at-sign} opensourcematte rs.org. Thanks for the great posting Steve! Best, Ryan Secretary, Open Source Matters]]></description>
