It rocks out of the box. I’ve been testing it on a project and it is terrific. It seems light years faster — using the accessible Beez template. I don’t know when the stable release is going to be, but my guess is within the next few months as I, personally, haven’t discovered very many bugs…really only a few quirks.

The latest stable version of Joomla is coming soon. You can, however, fly bleeding edge by the seat of your pants and download RC3 here. Good luck!

They have also released 1.5 RC3, Codename Takriban. Takriban means ‘almost, nearly’! We can’t wait to redesign theconsciousdesign.com with 1.5!

Joomla Endeleo was recently released and boasts updated scripts, media manager changes, and improved core templates.We hope to experiment with this new release after Matt and the Wordpress team finalize the new Wordpress release. Many Conscious Design sites will need back-end upgrades in the near future to stay on the cutting edge. Hooray for progress. Onward!

Future Senator Dave Weiss has called upon Conscious Design to revamp his website. His site now reflects his love for nature and his warm outlook on life.
