Hello,
I met Joomla! lead developer this weekend, and attended a Joomla! 1.5 demo. Joomla! 1.5 is the next Joomla! release, currently in alpha/ beta. It will mark the first important release since Joomla! "spooned" from Mambo.
Notable changes were:
- A new install system with a very basic notion of install profiles! - Internationalization: interface translation only - Database abstraction layer - Separation of logic and presentation layer - Improved APIs, making it a better developer platform
one thing i love about the joomla is that the installation of their module is very easy and it works out the box just like the software install with mouse clicks. we need to use that in drupal.
Clearly, they have been playing catch-up with Drupal. :-)
They also stated that Joomla! 2.0, the version after Joomla! 1.5 will have a node system like Drupal.
