CodeIgniter and Joomla

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Thanks, tonanbarbarian, for your post. We're in a similar position.

For those who still wonder "why," there are several reasons:

1. Some customers already have Joomla as their framework; we need to fit into their existing framework (their requirement).

2. To monetize our applications. We can sell our products standalone or as part of an integration.

3. To leverage the value proposition of other frameworks. Note that while we could design a Joomla component, that fails to leverage our resources. Otherwise, we'd need to do this for each application we write. Also, as we integrate into other frameworks (e.g., WordPress, Drupal, etc.), we want a solution that does not require development and QE resources again and again.
