[TriLUG] OT: Website Administrator position

[Jim Ray]

Well, certainly, everyone is entitled to an opinion. I'd like to see a
better suggestion instead of running down the one made.

I coded my first web site in a text processor in 1997 and contend Joomla
is better than writing code.

Dreamweaver is nice yet forces folks to buy expensive proprietary
software and have dedicated/trained/compensated webmasters. Not cool in
the Methodist church I know.

Joomla's not it, IMO. I don't think the interface is noob-friendly at
all.
I've tried. Actually, I don't think the interface is that friendly at
all.
It's possible that that opinion is based on a version or so ago, but
unless
it's changed dramatically... yuck.
