Hey ssnobben, great to hear from you again. Thanks for the link, there's some really interesting stuff in there. I would LOVE to see mechanisms like this in Joomla.

I'm working on some nifty new stuff that encapsulates many of the common "conditions" (e.g. what page you're on). The Drupal actions and triggers look very interesting too. It would be interesting to find a way to create some triggers like the ones they have: e.g. when an article is submitted, when someone logs in, etc. Joomla doesn't have a huge number of triggers available so it might require some ingenuity to use some of the existing "events" and multi-purpose them...
