In Holland there’s a saying (“general wisdom”) that says "At home the plumber has a leaking tap". This is often true with a lot of professionals: they do their utmost for their clients but have too little time to do the same for themselves. So why would Joomla be an exception to that rule?
Earlier this year (January 2012) Joomla 2.5 was released. We recommend to use the Joomla 2.5 for new sites, and migrate older versions to Joomla 2.5 if possible. And I suppose that we now all use 2.5 for all our own and our clients' new websites...
Ehm... we just couldn't resist confirming the saying... :-)
So what about all the Joomla.org websites?
We would like to keep getting the latest software updates. And to be able to use the latest 3rd party extensions. Furthermore we’d like to enjoy the improved functionality & the improved back-end of Joomla 2.5. Therefore we would like to upgrade all our joomla.org websites to Joomla 2.5. For a couple of our website we have already been testing the migration process locally.
To get all our Joomla sites on the latest releases, we've set-up a migration plan for the following Joomla.org websites:
