      I learn about the JCE editor. That product help me solve so client problems.

      Wilma did an excellent job preparing the power point presentation describing the upcoming version of Joomla 1.6. The Livestream session was the best virtual session we've had in terms of bandwidth and ease of use (there were no hickups adjusting audio, controls, etc.). The chat box is sufficient for 2-way feedback - any attempt to add 2-way audio is a wasted effort.

      Quality of info was good. I initially had problems with the webcast. Specifically, when using Firefox (V3.6) video would periodically stop refreshing -- getting stuck on a particular slide or screen, refreshing the browser screen would resume/advance it but not for long. Every 20-30 seconds an obnoxious video advertisment would completely obliterate the webcast -- overlaying the video content, audio much louder and blotting out the audio content. Very obnoxious. I switched to Internet Explorer and the problems seemed to stop happening. The video cutting out + advertisements made the webinar session unusable. Again, Internet Explorer seemed to stop that nonsesense.

      I have never used Joomla before and was unaware it was a template based site builder. So I dropped out about half way through the presentation. It's hard for me to judge the meeting. I don't know if anyone else had this problem but I couldn't see the type on the pages you were demonstrating on.
