With Joomla 3.0 on the verge of being released, a colleague of mine stumbled across a video by Kyle Ledbetter, “Joomla 3.0 Frontend Editing.” Basically, the video is the potential of the new Joomla 3.0 with its frontend editing capabilities. Although it is a short clip, it does a great job showing the ease of editing a sophisticated website in the new layout. It allows for one to not know the intricacies for a website in order to edit or update it. Joomla 3.0’s frontend editing is not new to the open source Content Management System (CMS) world, as concrete5 has been allowing users to edit the site content directly from the page for years. The idea had be wondering, would this new feature be beneficial for our clients? It would certainly allow them to maintain their website on their own. This new feature is bound to set Joomla even further apart from other open source backbones.
