Joomla! 1.5 Template Tutorials Project

This project is aimed at producing comprehensive documentation covering all aspects of Joomla 1.5 (and later) templates.

API Reference Project

The aim of the API Reference Project is to construct a useful reference manual on the Joomla 1.5 (and later) Framework API which will complement, rather than replace, the automatically generated material on http://api.joomla.org. The starting point for the API Reference is the Framework page which lists all of the classes in the Framework API.
