Joomla! Upgrade - Pros and Cons

,----[ Quote ]
| For an open source project, that's a lot 
| of time between two versions. There have 
| also been concerns raised about 
| transparency and governance within Open 
| Source Matters (OSM), the not-for-profit 
| that manages the Joomla! project. However, 
| with a new leadership team and much 
| awaited release of Joomla 1.6, things seem 
| to be back on track for the project.

| Kickstarter,  gained about 3,000

| to get their idea rolling. Apparently this 
| is an idea that is grabbing a lot of
