The Joomla! Core Team consists of volunteer developers, creatives, administrators and managers. This well-oiled machine is often copied but never surpassed. Joomla! has some wonderfully talented people taking open source concepts to the forefront of industry standards. Joomla! 1.5 is a major leap forward and represents the most exciting Joomla! release in the history of the project.

To ensure this code release, Wilco Jansen resorted to sending rum to joint lead developer Johan Janssens. Johan, who's had a penchant for rum ever since the first Pirate's of the Caribbean movie screened, took the bait mixed it with Cola and here we are with our latest 1.5 release. It looks like pirate talk will figure quite a lot in future Joomla! development

This allows file operations (such installing extensions or updating the main configuration) without having to make all the folders and files writeable. This makes the site admin's life a lot easier and increases security of the site

You can check the write status of relevent folders by going to ''Help->System Info" and then in the sub-menu to "Directory Permissions". With FTP even if all directories are red, Joomla! will operate smoothly.

NOTE: the FTP layer is not required on a Windows host.
