    Is anyone using the beta of Joomla 1.5 yet? If so, what do you think? Have you used it on any production sites?

    I've been using it in a lot of personal projects, just because of the fact that you can develop real fast with MVC architecture, but still there are a few bugs/tweaks needed in this version... I'll recommend using it if you can handle Joomla's core code and fix bugs without relying on Joomla's dev. team..

    That's a shame, the UI seems a lot slicker, easier to understand than 1.0.x

    Even the demo version at joomla.org is not working. I created an account for testing. But I can't login. They have a warning posted in the site against using it for production purpose.

    Do NOT use it for production. If you care about your site.

    I'd wait... anybody hear when they expect a release candidate? ...seems like this 1.5 version has been in beta forever. :confused:

    LOL, supposedly there trying to make it easier to use so there rewriting a lot of the code. That is what is taking so long. Every time they find a bug they can't go back to the old one since basicly it's almost a new Joomla.
