I think you'll find that at least US non-profit organizations are able to receive the Enterprise version of Salesforce (the one that allows connections to their API) for free! You can learn more at http://www.salesforcefoundation.org, and should contact them to see if UK organizations might be able to have this functionality. With more than 1200 non-profit organizations using Salesforce in the first year of this offering, we believe that J!Salesforce will be a great option for those non-profit organizations taking advantage of this offering by Salesforce.com. We're not too interested in working with large corporations, but we're glad that organizations will be able to use our tool with their free version of Salesforce.com. Best, Ryan Hi Piet,

A client of mine contacted you and what was made clear, normal Joomla websites with a normal SalesForce package will not be able to use your integration you claim you are working on. Stop the hoax and make clear what you are building will only fit a few dozen companies on the entire globe. And then wonder if those companies will ever run Joomla, or that their inhouse webdevelopers will have built their own CMS.

The winning solutions at the end of this year won’t be those that try to pack as much under the hood as possible, but rather those that are most flexible and connect most effectively with other systems.In short, the non-profit sector’s needs demand more choice, and that’s just what open source and open APIs can do.
