Here are some interesting Joomla blog posts I found during week 23.

As expected, the third beta version of Joomla 1.6 was released yesterday. It's been two weeks since the last release, and the development team has kept it's promise of delivering time-based beta releases of Joomla 1.6 every 14 days.

If you've been following the Joomla! project for a while, you know that the releases have been sporadic and non-predictable. Especially the releases for Joomla! 1.6 (alpha / beta) have been far apart. Until now, that is.

At J! and Beyond in Wiesbaden, Chris Davenport of the Joomla! Development team told the crowd that future Joomla! releases will be date-based. This means at first that new beta versions of Joomla! 1.6 will be released every 14 days. Beta 3 is scheduled for June 14th 2010. The result being that the version will be released with the bug fixes added up until that point. This will continue until we have a release candidate and then a stable version of Joomla! 1.6.

After the release of 1.6, the plan is a release of a new major version of Joomla! every 6 months. Which means a release of 1.7 six months after 1.6 is launched etc.

Here are some interesting Joomla blog posts I found during week 21.

This week, there's a case study on a multinational company using Joomla for their corporate website, a couple of Joomla 1.6 related posts and the announcement of the nominees for the J!Oscars awards. Guess who's nominated in two categories ;)

This week, there is a warning about (not) installing Joomla 1.6 beta on your live site, a write-up on the Joomla! Student Outreach Program and a post on how you can join the Joomla 1.6 bug squad, to mention some.

After a long wait, Joomla! 1.6 beta 1 will be released to the public today. This version arrives almost 7 months after Joomla! 1.6 Alpha 2 was released. It's been a long wait - but as it seems - it is worth it.

This beta version marks a huge step forward in the development of Joomla 1.6. The features in this version are the ones that will be found in the final, stable version.

Joomla 1.6 has been designed to offer enhanced site control and a more polished user experience. It will deliver a variety of new tools to improve website management and access, a more robust organizational structure for content control, and various other user- experience improvements throughout the system.

Amongst them are a nice write-up by Louis Landry on the progression of the Joomla 1.6 project, and info on the new Joomla! Community Magazine.

I hope you have read the chat log from the "Ask the Joomla team" session (or my highlights post about the same).

If you did, you might have seen that Joomla 1.6 beta is close to being released.

According to Mark Dexter of the Joomla team, the announcement of a beta version of Joomla 1.6 is about a week or two away.
