On July 19th, Joomla 1.7 will be released and this version is something special because of various reasons. Before I go into details, I want to mention a few user groups.
JOOMLA! USER GROUPS
There are so many people in the world using Joomla! for their own purpose. Joomla! now powers 2.8% of all existing websites in the world. I’ll just mention a few of them here.
Newbies
If you need a website and you are new to Joomla!, you can download Mastering Joomla! 1.5 Extension and Framework Development
and install it and you can build your website in a very easy way. Even when you are only using the core package, and even if you are just a beginner in this field. If you need help getting started, here is a link: http://cocoate.com/j17 Have fun! more at JoomlaWHAT’S NEW IN JOOMLA! 1.7
For people who look at the user interface or to any ‘visible’ features I have a short answer. In the user interface of the alpha version I examined, only one single Joomla! 1.5 Development Cookbook
checkbox is added in the mass mail component. It is now possible to include or exclude blocked users in a mass mail. This is a nice feature but it will not ‘blow your mind’. more at Joomla
