Last Friday, Wilco Jansen the Joomla!’s Development Coordinator announced a code freeze. That’s usually a good news. A code freeze means another Joomla! release is on the way, and this time perhaps we are looking at a stable release, or is it? let’s wait and see …

Yes we are excited. Joomla! CMS version 1.5 is finally mature enough to become the framework for many future web projects. Joomla! CMS 1.5 has been written from scratch based on a Model View Controller architecture and it is very modular. An ideal framework for building content management driven websites, Intranet solutions, and Social Networking websites.

Our friend Amy Stephen on OpenSourceCommunity.org has already started a party!
