Joomla! 1.5 Development Cycle
The basic Joomla! package is designed to be easy to install, even for non-programmers. Most people have no trouble getting our software up and running, and there is plenty of support available for newbies. We have a growing, active community of more than 150,000 friendly users and developers on our forums eager to help. Once Joomla! is installed and running, it is simple for even non-technical users to add or edit content, update images,
and to manage the critical data that makes your company or organization go. Anybody with basic word processing skills can easily learn to manage a Joomla! site. Via a simple, browser-based interface you will be able to easily add new press releases or news items, manage staff pages, job listings, product images, and create an unlimited amount of sections or content pages on your site. Taking Joomla! to the Next Level At SalarO we have decided to only use Joomla 1. 5 due to the extra security and the fact that it runs happily on Linux, Apache 2.2, MySQL 5.x and PHP 5.x. We think these are necessary to ensure that the platform is secure and hopefully free from being hacked.

About Joomla
 Like DotNetNuke, Joomla! is a free, open source content management system for publishing content on the world wide web and intranets. The system includes features such as page caching to improve performance, RSS feeds, printable versions
of pages, news flashes, blogs, polls, website searching, and language internationalization. Joomla is licensed under the GPL, and is the result of a fork of Mambo. The name Joomla is properly written with an exclamation mark as
that is part of the name, but this is commonly omitted. It is written in the PHP programming language and uses the MySQL database by default.
Joomla has an official and many unofficial communities. As of February 2008, the official Joomla forum has more than 260,000 threads and over 1.2 million posts from more than 170,000 registered members in 40 languages.[11] Unofficial sites are published in many languages, often with Joomla extensions that are region specific. Bi-directional text support for the Hebrew and Arabic languages, for example, can be found on 3rd party community portals.
Unofficial web developers also build extensions and web templates for commercial sale and offer freelance customization services. Usually a template is distributed as a zip file which can be installed using the Joomla installer
