It seems the Joomla team, the bright eyes behind the popular content management system, have taken one from Wordpress’ playbook and launched a community showcase of their own.
“The Joomla Project is pleased to announce our latest undertaking to promote sites using Joomla—our new Joomla Community Showcase. The showcase is a hub for community users to share sites they’ve discovered or built themselves.”
“Launching today with just over 100 sites, the showcase has a wide range of categories—arts, education, business, sports, non-profits and more. It’s designed in the same familiar layout as the Joomla Extensions Directory so users will be able to quickly find what they’re looking for.”
…
“Each month, we will highlight a Web site that demonstrates exemplary quality, flexibility, and design. If you want your site to be considered, make sure you fill out all the site information accurately and thoroughly.”
“Site Case Studies: While site descriptions are a general overview of the site and/or company, case studies are a way to delve deeper into the mechanics of the site, how it was built, what problems it solved, and how it fit into the overall strategy of the company. It’s a way to give other Joomla users insight into the process and what extensions were used. We encourage site creators to write detailed case studies. If your site has a good case study, you’ll exponentially increase your chances of being awarded the Site of the Month.”
