Joomla! Wins 'Best CMS Award' Again!
Packt Publishing today announced Joomla! as the winner of Best PHP Open Source Content Management System for 2007.
The award marks the second time Joomla! has won a prestigious Packt prize. Runners up were Drupal, followed by e107.
The judges indicated that Joomla! is 'possibly one of the biggest success stories in
open source of late'. Its first release came in only September 2005 and since
then has grown to be one of the most downloaded Content Management Systems on the
web.
The
judges also noted a number of factors that helped Joomla! secure the Award.
Most notably its good front-end for administrators and end-users, which
gives users a simple and traditional company website straight out of
the box. Once again, judges commented on the size and responsiveness of
the community, which translates to potential problems being dealt with
quickly.
Joomla! Project Manager Johan Janssens said adding this latest award to Joomla's steadily growing collection of prizes was recognition of the project as a whole.
While I can't pretend to read judges minds, I'm sure Joomla's wealth of community and focus on creating the foundations of a next generation framework, demonstrated the true strengths of the project, he said.
I'd also like to thank Packt for its continued support through its publications and awards. Packt understands open source spirit, that's for sure.
NEWSFLASH: Packt confirmed that Joomla! 1.5 (despite still being in Release Candidate) was basis for their decision. Great news for anyone still sitting on the fence, wondering just how good the new generation framework is!

Joomla! 1.5 RC3 Codename Takriban
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 (http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,479.0.html) has further fuelled interest, as has the number of 1.5 native extensions finding their way onto the Joomla! Extensions Directory (http://extensions.joomla.org/) . Joomla! 1.5 is really gaining momentum.
