{{JVer|1.6}} Joomla 1.6 is currently in the beta test stage so we are getting closer to General Availability, but we need your help to finish it.  If you are a developer then please look in the [[:Category:Dev cookie jar|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 [[Joomla! 1.6 Development Status|development status page]].
+
With Joomla 2.5 safely released the focus of development is shifting to 3.0, currently scheduled for release in September 2012.  This will be the first of a new series (3.0/3.1/3.5) and maintaining backwards compatibility with 2.5 will not be required.

Joomla! Official Documentation

Reader profiles

Find the profile that most accurately describes your role and you will find the documentation that you need more quickly. These are the most frequent profiles...

None of the above? Then look for more user profiles.

Getting started

If you have only recently starting working with Joomla you will probably have experienced the pain of learning a new system. New terminology, new ways of doing things, perhaps even the web itself may be new to you. Then let these guides relieve some of that pain.

Important

You don't need to register here if you just want to read the documentation.

You should only register if you want to make changes to the information contained here. Also note that registration on this wiki is entirely separate from registration on our other sites, such as the forum.

Coming soon

With Joomla 2.5 safely released the focus of development is shifting to 3.0, currently scheduled for release in September 2012. This will be the first of a new series (3.0/3.1/3.5) and maintaining backwards compatibility with 2.5 will not be required.

Joomla Platform

The Joomla Platform is available. Development will be time-based with roughly a three-month release cycle.

Quick links for Administrators
Joomla 2.5 Joomla! 2.5

Joomla! 2.5 is the current LTS version. The previous LTS version, Joomla 1.5, is still widely used and will be supported with security fixes only until September 2012.

For more information see the Joomla 2.5 category page.

Quick links for Developers
Joomla 3.10 Joomla! 3.10

Joomla 3.10 was the last STS version prior to Joomla 2.5. Support for Joomla 3.10 ended on 24 February 2012.

For more information see the Joomla 3.10 category page.
