Joomla 1.6 is the next generation of Joomla, the most popular Open Source Content Management System in the world.  This page tells you about the status of development and where you can download files.

The broad goals of Joomla 1.6 are to:

  • implement an expanded access control system;
  • implement a nested categories solution;
  • and standardise the way extensions are built using the MVC framework.

To achieve those things there is a lot of other ancillary work to be done, but those are the highlights of this new version.
