I ask because I use Joomla! myself.  There was some talk a few months 
back about a PLUG-sponsored security audit of that package, and I was 
interested in participating if that ever got going.

PLUG has a webdev list?  Cool.  I just subscribed.  I'll listen for more 
Joomla!/PLUG info over there.

FYI : The general mailman page 
http://lists.plug.phoenix.az.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo doesn't show 
the webdev list.  I believe there is a radio box in the Mailman admin 
interface for each list that allows the list to be advertised on that 
general info page.

thanks,
