Congratulations to the Core team and everyone involved on the launch of Joomla! 1.5, it is looking great.

The eye candy in Joomla! 1.5 BETA is a show stopper!

A big round of applause for the developers who code a tight script while keeping the user interface so darn attractive for the end user.

So now, I guess everyone and their dog will be hoping to reach the "Release Candidate" version before X-mas 2006 ; )

Lads..

Very good work, this is a release that is excellent and well in tune with the web 2.0 world.

I've been developing since before the internet and Joomla is one major killer app. In a real sense it;'s helping to revolutionize my business, and that my friends....pays the bills.

Gooru, and proud to be exclusively JOOMLA!

Just great what 1.5 offers. I played already many hours with it. No problems so far starting Websites from scratch.
Very productive. Congratulations indeed.

[miji2]

Just wanted to say thanks to the 1.5 (beta) release team. Just installed this puppy and it feels great. It's got that level of familarity and yet taken to a new level. Very slick guys and gals. Lots more work ahead (especially the migration bits) but this is very encouraging. Thanks everyone!!!

what about 1 5. templates
i see rhuk_milkyway.

what else.

[kosson]

I'm so excited
And i just can't hide it...



I installed it I took a short glance and it's awsome.. lots and lots of potential.
Thank you for this great opportunity.

Thank you !

[Tonie]

Templates is something we are still discussing. There will most likely be more then one template in the final version.

[brian]

Maybe we should have an open competition to find 5 templates in the following catgeories
1. Portal
2. Brochure
3. Business
4. Accessible
5. Entertainment

[newart]

About the template issue, I think the good idea is to offer sundry templates in the package. But how to have got it inside... a competition ? or simply from the designer house around joomla I'd like the idea of a competition but I think that We have a widespread web site of design/template about our dear Joomla! and a lot of them are commercial sites, so I think it should be beautiful if everyone of them could offer a templates that suites some parameters written by the "design commitee for new templates in 1.5".

I hope this idea is really interesting...

Moreover if you like I can open a new post for offer a new template working only for 1.5 (incomplete but working), that is, we free open joolers can ofer our templates even without a competition but why not to ask for a commercial template offered for free by not-open joomlers

@Newart
I have tested your Virtus 1.5 template and have been playing with its CSS (mostly adding the missing ones). Not ready yet.
------------
@ All
Now, concerning new templates for 1.5, I suggest we wait till the devs are posting some templates with overrides in order to get "full features" templates demonstrating the realJoomla! 1.5 possibilities. (No tables, H tags, etc.)
As far as I understand, milkyway is just a temporary one also.
