It's better to do that then hijack someone's topic.
Thanks!"

It is a Joomla! 1.5 fork, providing equivalent features for extended ACL and multiple categories coming in Joomla! 1.6.

Upgrading to Joomla 1.6
Just wondering how user friendly will it be migrating from 1.5 to 1.6..?
I have never liked the process of upgrading from 1.0 to 1.5 (some how the process was time consuming, it was like moving from a totally different platform) Unless I did things the wrong way.
Oh! and how compatible will the extensions you used on 1.5 be on 1.6?
