Joomla! is a powerful, flexible Content Management System (CMS) with a huge amount of community support.

  • Which parts are important now?
  • How do I get help if I'm stuck?

This page is an attempt to provide you with the resources you need as you begin your journey with Joomla!

The varieties of Joomla!

There are three varieties of Joomla! each of which is a major step along the road of its development.

  • Joomla 1.0 probably not for a beginner. This is where Joomla! started now some years ago. This link leads to the Legacy Documentation.
  • Joomla 1.5 The current stable version. This is what beginners who want to build a web site need. The links in the box to the right are about Joomla! 1.5
  • Joomla 1.6 The next version of Joomla! which will be available shortly.
    • Should that worry you if you are beginning now with Joomla! 1.5. Absolutely not because the migration path from 1.5 to 1.6 will be smooth and straightforward.
The path to Joomla 1.6

Joomla 1.6 We are getting close to the release of Joomla 1.6, but we need your help to finish it. If you are a developer then please look in the development cookie jar for a list of tasks we need help with. If you see something that takes your fancy then follow the instructions to claim the task and start working on it.

You can see a summary of overall progress on the development status page.
