The real problem is extensibility

The solution ?

3 years of development

• Rapid Extension Development Framework, make an extension extendable.

• Sits alongside the Joomla Framework, installs as a plugin through EXTman, our new extension manager.

• Joomlatools extensions get code reusability and extensibility out of the box.

What should you remember?

• DOCman was a key driver for innovation in Joomla 1.5

• For DOCman 1.5/1.6, keeping your documents secure is our primary concern

• DOCman 2.0 is build from the ground up using a new and more powerful architecture

• Not one but 4 new extensions : DOCman, FILEman, LOGman and EXTman.

Thank youQUESTIONS?
