Earlier in the year, the event Joomla! Day Sydney was held. Part of the day was a Question & Answer section by Andrew Eddie. You can read the entire notes here at the Joomla! Day website. But here is a little tidbit that made me sit up straight:
Why hasn’t the admin interface been re-written?
It has certainly been ‘freshened’. Where 1.5 is a under-the-hood front end blitz, 1.6 will be an under-the-hood backend blitz – among other things.
This is the first I have heard of plans for Joomla! 1.6, and it took my breath away.
Since looking at the 1.5 back-end, I have always loved it and thought it a marked improvement over the 1.0.x interface. Granted, it has a similar style but I felt that the design changes and small things like the horizontal menu’s inside components where excellent.
I can’t begin to think of how it could be drastically changed. But I can’t wait to find out!
