			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are a small group of keen WordPress users who are happy and proud to offer something back to the user community.</p>
<p>We spent a long time exploring the merits of java, hoping its scalability and efficient code protocols would lead us into developing a specialized CMS. What we did not realize was that java makes high demands on server side processing and memory. To run an interactive, dynamic site with high traffic requires a dedicated server with heaps of processing power and even more memory. It&#8217;s an expensive overhead. Putting all that back end power into a php platform would provide suerb results also and it did not seem to make sense to pursue the java route without taking a closer look at the  php alternatives again.</p>
<p><span id="more-11"></span></p>
<p>A close favorite is Drupal. No-one can argue against the professionalism and quality control that Drupal has built into their CMS, but it does favor the experienced web master and programmer to get the best out of the system. That was not an issue for us personally, but we wanted to focus on a technology that was easy to use for our users and clients and that provided an out of the box solution for web publication.</p>
<p>WordPress fulfills that criteria and a lot more besides. Ease of use comes as standard, but when you look under the hood, one can see a wealth of code features that make it stand apart from the rest. Extensibility, connectivity and reliability are hallmarks that readily come to mind with WordPress. And so we made WordPress our codebase of choice to develop, expand and experiment with exciting new features. You will hear more about these as time goes on and we are very happy to share some of the goodies back with the Wordpress community.</p>
<p>So there&#8217;s our first post &#8230; what else to say, except<br />
<strong><br />
Three Cheers For WordPress! </strong></p>
