Yay... Take Me to the Community!

I think Scott addressed these numbers in his post where he pointed out that you have only moderated 32 posts in the last 6 months.  The moderation list you point out is over a two year period.  As for blog posts, you will notice that only current core team members have blogs.  I do not personally know what happened to old posts, but whatever happened clearly was not directed at you but appears to have been applied equally across the board.

Would it be possible for a moderator to split this thread?

I think both topics have merit, but we may have strayed just a little :) from the original topic.

:)  I must say--the line of reasoning and logic as to which platform would most suit my needs is markedly different than the responses I got in the Joomla! forums while doing my due diligence; not sure what inferences one could draw from this.  :)

I have a lengthy follow-up constructed, but want to ensure that I won't lose my posting privileges if I step on anyone's toes or rub them the wrong way.  ...just my way of negotiating with the hijackers so we can have a peaceful ending to this standoff. If I can't get answers to my questions here, I would be lost and could not move forward.

For what it's worth, I am going to post a thread asking about form/sql modules that would serve my needs (XMod using XML, so ruled that out until the next version, perhaps...ListX, Dynamic Forms, etc...); whether or not this is the right choice remains to be seen, but I've decided that I have no time to invest in getting up to speed with Joomla right now. 

PS...some Joomla guys posted one advantage being the length at which one must way to get a post approved and posted on DNN, as their forums allow for instant posts that are not initially approved by moderators. By decreasing the supply of moderation around here, the problem could be exacerbated...food for thought.

But if you veterans welcome an outsider's (and total newbie) perspective on all this, let me know...I'm your future, man.  :)

Shawn,

With all due respect, the last I looked Joomla is written in PHP - not Java. Also, PHP is not Pearl, the are two seperate languages, so your argument is off base in this thread.

Yes, I know PHP/Perl are not the same, my main point is the top 2 programming languages for more corporation are .Net and Java and then after that you have PHP/Perl/Ruby

John Mitchell wrote
One of the original questions was:  Which is easiest to learn--.php or asp.net?

Are you suggesting that ASP.Net (which can be any .Net language) is easier to learn than PHP?

I think that depends on the developer, if you come from a scripting background PHP is easier to learn.  On the other hand if you come from a VB, C++,  or Java backgorund then .NET is easier to learn.  I personally have looked a Ruby (another dynamic / scripting type langauge) and it has not come easy for me at all.  But a fellow developer who has experience with PHP/Pearl has picked up Ruby in a couple of month.  Which one is easier if not one or the other, it all depends on the developer.

though this is again a side discussion, not related to Joomla or DNN framework itself, here are just 3 advantages of moderation:

  1. avoid forum abuse
  2. as newbees' posts get viewed by a moderator, most of them will be answered by them with high priority
  3. newbees often have difficulties to find the appropriate forums - moderation helps to guide them and increase content quality

we know of the disadvantage, that you need to wait until a post gets moderated, especially since there is a forum issue, that delays new posts, until they show up to moderator. I expect, this will be solved soon with the new forums version.
