"GO BOKKE GO!!!"


springbok_logoI am sure that all South Africans are already sitting at the edges of our seats, anticipating the Rugby World Cup game happening tomorrow evening, Saturday the 20th October 2007 at 21h00 in France!  Even as I sit here in my office, I can feel my stomach turning, so excited, we can't wait to watch our home team, the SPRINGBUCKS, play some history making Rugby. On behalf of the Joomla community in South Africa, we would just like to wish the "Springbokke" all the best with their game!  And I'm sure we can speak on behalf of everyone when we say...we support you guys!

Joomla! 1.5 RC3 ? Codename Takriban
Saturday, 06 October 2007

Joomla! 1.5 RC3 [codename: Takriban] is now available for download. We've had the 'Red Barchetta' release candidate, then Endelo RC (meaning development, progress ... improvement). Takriban means 'almost, nearly'. Well folks we're almost, nearly there. Stable is getting very close.

 

It's roughly 10 weeks since RC1 and five weeks since RC2 and thanks to valuable community feedback, there have been improvements and bug fixes. The uptake of Joomla! 1.5 has been incredible, with many people diving in to the new API and finding ways to make it sing. The current Joomla! 1.5 template competition has further fuelled interest, as has the number of 1.5 native extensions finding their way onto the Joomla! Extensions Directory . Joomla! 1.5 is really gaining momentum.
