Announcing the release of Seedling

I'm pleased to announce the availability of our newest in-house project from Design Guru.  Its a distribution package of Joomla we're simply calling 'Seedling.'

Our aim with Seedling's distribution of Joomla is to make it much easier to get started using this great content management system.

We've been using Joomla for around 5 years now.  Ultimately, in that time its gotten so difficult for people to pick through the over-4000 3rd party extensions available that the Joomla learning curve has gotten too steep for a lot of people.  In my opinion, that's not cool - Joomla is a great piece of software, and I really want to see more people feel comfortable using it as soon as they start - not after months of pulling their hair out.

The distro is commercial GPL and we're keeping the price really low - its just $249 CAD per copy.  Non-profits + educational institutions get %15 off and all customers receive an automatic %20 discount if they're installing Seedling Joomla for 5 or more sites. 

You can find out a lot more about Seedling over @ http://www.plantseedling.com and through this walk-through video I put together last week.
