A lot of talk on logos and licenses today ...
Yoz XP! The design looks great , the lion is one mean looking :P
Heidir , enquiries at ubuntu.sg will be sent to you as well.
And yes this bring out the problem with website too , the thing been
going on for a while. I have tried out Joomla + SMF on another domain of
mine and its working perfectly with one login for both CMS and Forum.
So lets do the migration by this week and by next week , we should be
ready with the final design. I assume most of us are more or less
familiar with Joomla/Mambo?? Of course , anyone would like to recommend
another CMS/Forum , pls do so.
regards
billy
