The Cast
- www.itworldcanada.com
Posted an article with some dubious facts in it. - Briony Smith
Author of said article - www.sweetspot.ca
The website in question - PixelCarve
The original implementor - Trioro Inc
The new company that ported the site from Joomla to .NET - The Joomlaverse
Rapid open source fans that will jump all over ill-fact checked reporting
My Prediction
If I was to make a guess, I might say that Pixelcarve will never notice this, Trioro and Sweetspot might make some sort of clarification, and itworldcanada won’t do very well at defending their reporting.
My 2 Cents
Seems like it was a poor implementation*. One thing open source has to wrestle with is how consumers can find quality vendors. Proprietary systems do this through certification/partner programs. Mind you, for this application, I would have recommended Drupal 🙂
* After some research it seems like there may have been more user error
involved than issues with the quality of the initial implementation, and the second company’s inexperience with Joomla.
