[wp-hackers] Regional Author Groups and Permission

[Guus (IFS)]

Yes, if they're aldeady using it it may be the best option. But I'm still a 
simple web developer that just prefers to write 'simple' php/html and just 
submit simple pages :).

Thank Guus,

Used to use Joomla a lot a few years ago, but found it painful to use and 
clients never liked using it. Will look at Zend, but think I'll try and 
stick with WordPress if I can as client already uses it and would be easier 
to pass on if I every leave.

Cheers, Dave
