Title: Congrats to the Development Team!!
Post by: Tikkiro on March 10, 2009, 16:51:26 PM
As a 2-year user of VM, and someone who's disabled, on benefit-only income, and using it on a personal website as well as shortly a charity site, I just wanted to commend all of those in the VM team who took on the brave challenge of producing this software.  I know the Forum is replete with problems galore, but as I know myself, many of these are little to do with the program and more to do with us plebs who're unfamiliar with Joomla let alone how to utilise modules etc.  The more I use it, the more impressed I am by the incredible volume of work that has obviously gone into making it such an extremely invaluable ecommerce facility, and to be willing to do all of that for FREE is just unbelievable to me.  I've not looked at the commercial offerings but would suspect this is on a par or maybe even better than some of them, and I for one am truly, TRULY appreciative of all your hard work in producing it.  Thanks also to those who give their time trying to sort out the millions of problems we plebs can put your way.

I just know how disheartening it can be to give of your time voluntarily for any purpose and to have nothing but complaints, with very few people stopping to appreciate just what you do, so figured it was time I gave you all some encouragement to keep up the excellent work, and to keep this program free for as long as you can :).  ;D

I can only agree. I have been using VM for the last 9 months and I am so happy every day that I didn't go with any other solution. There was a quite steep learnig curve and a lot of frustration in the beginning, but stubborn as I am I learned more and more every day and today I don't fell that I have any problem with VM whatsoever.

A BIG THANK YOU to the development team. Keep up the good work!
