Joomla!’s multi-award-winning team of developers today released version 1.0 of Joomla!.
The team, which developed the world’s most popular Open Source content management system, have been working their magic since the Joomla! brand was announced — just 17 days ago.
Lead developer Andrew Eddie praised the development team and the Joomla! community for their work and support.
“Baby Joomla! has cut its first tooth with the release of Joomla! v1.0,” he said. “This will be the first milestone in the Joomla! story… everyone knows how important this day is, so everyone should celebrate the freedom.”
Joomla! website creation software is released under GNU GPL. Joomla! 1.0 is now available for download at developer.joomla.org.

With the launch of the Katrina Evacuee Help Center at www.disastersearch.org, there is now, for the first time, a "one stop shop" for evacuees, families looking to reunite, and the people working to assist them.
A call for help was posted by Pastor Jay Dearman, who runs the www.churchofthe.net site, to the Joomla! Open Source community forum five days ago. (www.joomla.org)
"There are people posting desperate messages for help in different places all over the Internet, on news sites, and on missing persons' registers," Pastor Dearman said. "We need a centralized registry and we need it fast."
As a result the international consortium was quickly formed under the leadership of Peter Koch of Switzerland.
