Joomla 1.6 more Strong
Joomla 1.6 is the next generation of Joomla, the most popular Open Source Content Management System in the world. This page tells you about the status of development and where you can download files.
The broad goals of Joomla 1.6 are to:
implement an expanded access control system;
implement a nested categories solution;
add a commenting system;
and standardise the way extensions are built using the MVC framework.
To achieve those things there is a lot of other ancillary work to be done, but those are the highlights of this new version.
Apart from some user interface improvements the new access control and nested categories systems are feature complete.
The access control system is progressively coming online throughout the administrator as is the nested category system (see Beta-ready extensions below).
The new comments system has not been added to the core stack yet.
Currently, most work focuses on finishing the backend Administrator, bringing all extensions up to a common standard. The following Administrator extensions are “Beta ready”. This means they are essentially feature complete, at a consistent code standard and ready for rigourous testing.
