I thought that considering I made an announcement there would be no bridge following the release of Joomla 1.5 beta 1, I should make a new announcement on the success of bridging Joomla 1.5 beta 2 with SMF.
I have achieved a fully wrapped bridge, and I am continuing to work out the smaller details in integration functionality so that it has a minimum of the same qualities of the bridge for Joomla 1.0.x before the first release.
Thank you for your patience while waiting for the release.
