NYCPHP Meetup

[Leam Hall]

Some partly coherent thoughts...

For the entrepreneur:
	1. How do I bring together joomla, a shopping cart, a forum, etc, and 
make sure the look and feel stays the same without manually configuring 
each CSS file every time?

	2. What hit statistics are available? How are they graphed?

	3. If I hire a Joomla programmer for one project and 6 months later 
hire a different one, how much time/cost will the second programmer 
spend figuring out what the first one did?

	4. I want to move to "Mitch's Awesome Hosting Company", how hard will 
it be to keep my site intact and how difficult is it to clone?

	5. Most sites seem real slow, how do I use Joomla and still make sure 
my site loads quickly?

	6. What's the top end of Joomla capacity?

For the Joomloid:
	1. How do I deal with YoMomma and other half-baked mega hosting for 
free options that install crippled PHP/Apache/MySQL functionality?

	2. What are some big wins I can discuss with a client to maximize their 
site development ROI?

	3. Auto mechanics have a book that says how many hours to charge for 
each job. Is there a similar thing for Joomla tasks so I can price work 
I don't yet know how to do without making the customer pay for my direct 
education?

	4. What are some awesome sites using Joomla that I can learn from?

	5. How do I show the client the dollar value of decent hosting plans?

That's all my workday worn brain can come up with. Some of the other 
responses have been great! I'm enjoying reading as much as contributing.
