This initiative had four existing web sites running Joomla CMS 1.5 and extensions, and they required an additional three websites to support their goals:

TAZZU a pet project of JenTekk Web Solutions was originally founded back in 2006. In 2010 an unfortunate turn of events took TAZZU offline and left the Members looking for alternative ways to network.
