Joomla provides facilities to assign a single homepage in the front-end. This wasn't nearly flexible enough for my needs.
Nomad allows an administrator to make a global redirect setting, a per-group setting, or an individual user setting. The plugin checks first for a user setting, then a group setting, then a global setting - redirecting on the first value it finds. If no value is found, the user is sent to the normal homepage. Users who aren't logged in are not affected by this plugin, they see the normal homepage.
There are no limits to the number of assignments you can make!
Version 1.7 - resolves PHP Strict Standards error - nothing major.
4/26/2012 - Joomla 1.6/1.7 availability and support withdrawn.

I have been using JED for over two and a half years without writing a review so imagine how good, emphasize on GOOD, this plugin is for me to actually write one. It took me less than a minute to set up and get running, almost no effect on the loading time and a breeze to understand.
It's extensions like these that makes me fall in love with Joomla all over again.

Wicked! This was exactly the type of plugin that I was searching for!! Many thanks to the developer!
Congratulations to the simplicity of execution and idea.
I discovered a bug in version 1.4. Enabling the plugin disables the other extension to the Content Templater Frontend users. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/edition/code-snippets/7152

This module couldn't have come at a better time! It's simplicity is amazing! Simply set up your user parameters as normal with standard Joomla! tools, then make sure this plugin is activated in the Plugin Manager, and edit it there. Works just like it says! Saweet! Per user is the best thing since sliced bread!
