Sandbox

Way to GO eh?  I sure didn't think this would be done until Spring/Summer! A wonderful surprise to lift us out of these frozen days (here anyways  ) Such a bright, warm  spot, like all the hardworking people who brought this to be, and the great people on this forum!
Thanks thanks, thanks..just THANKSSSS!!!
@ osfREAK- Thanks for the awesome link, and all the hard work there too....

Thank you very much for your hard work and for volunteering your time to make our lives easier.

Sending boatloads of good virtual karma.....now.  Upload complete...

Over 20,000 downloads in the first day ain't too bad either.  I'd say there's some tepid interest out there

Congratulations to all joomla community, I've been dreaming since two and a half years for this stable release... and now here it is!

Truly exciting.

You guys are amazing and the joomla craziness is only beginning! :-)

in that stable package I haven't seen the joomlart winner template inside, probably you have forgotten it...

Nope not forgotten, code will be reviewed and improved where possible, once that's done it will be added as far as I know. I  don't know any more details though.

Congrats to the Joomla team for getting this up to Stable! Can't wait to get deep into it!

congratulations to all people who were involved in the project, including those who already left the team for one thing or another.

now, it's time to begin using this new baby.

Congratulations! 

I am proud of being author of more or less FOUR lines of code of the Joomla! 1.5

Yeah... ain´t much, but 1 million lines is made of a bunch of 1 lines... isn´t it?

Joomla! Team, Core Developers, Working Groups Managers, Doc Team, and everyone else... Thank you very much for the awaken nights, and tireless effort! What I most like in Joomla! is, in fact, its community and its "LET´S HELP EACH OTHER" spirit....

With Joomla! 1.5 we will build amazing sites which will spread the LOVE, SHARING, and JOY of HELPING that, in the end, will CHANGE THE WORLD in an INTEGRATED AND PEACEFUL COMMUNITY of ENLIGHTENED PEOPLE! WOW!!!

Thank you. 

Just want to add my congratulations and thank yous too.

Great work everyone!

Congrats and good work.

Can't wait to start using it mainstream

Looks like the download is a little crowded... I can't squeeze my way in there just yet

Congratulations to everyone involved!!!!

Thanks MUCH! This is Awsome! 

Beautiful and congrats!  Looking forward to running it.

My sincere thanks go out to all of you that have made this release possible! 

Brilliant job! Thanks to y'all who've made this possible.....now for some sleepless nights as I play around with this

Fantastic job guys.  Well done... but I am curious. 

How exactly did the decision come about to confirm a gold release?  Was it simply a a bug tracker option? a Eureka moment by a guru? a group discussion by phone? a dove on the window ledge?  Looking at the fix list I can't see what was the pivotal item that turned you gold?  Just curious how the upper echelons of Joomla work.

Any ways very well done!

Cheers

awesome..

We classify the bugs in the Tracker in a particular way.  Our condition for Gold release was that we had dealt with Very High and High Priority items.  These are issues that, among other things, prevent you from using Joomla! (like, it dies), throw PHP errors, or impedes proper use (like you can't install an extension, you can't use an extension on a particular page, etc).  It means there are still bugs that could well be annoying (like a parameter not working, and so on), but overall the software "works" well enough for it to be usable by the majority of people.

Ladies and Gentlemen.... YYEEEEEEE HAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT news!!!

Congratulations to all the Joomla! community on releasing Joomla! 1.5 Stable

I remember trying to select the right CMS for me a year ago. I chose Joomla. This release gives me a large *sigh* of release- as I know I chose the right one.

Congrats to the Joomla Development team. I for one, could not dedicate myself as you all have- and for a non-salary type project as large as this. This release could not have been done without maintaining active engagement and fortitude. It truly speaks volumes of Joomla as a whole.

Thank God ! This is amazing !

Thank you all for your continuous efforts. Best thoughts from Romania.

awesome, on to 2.0 

The two and a half years hard work has finally paid off!
Félicitations!

Great News!   

But now most of the component are not available for Joomla 1.5          :-* 


Plz help 

Yea! Great job by all involved. Thanks.
