Hi everyone,
I'm starting a new web-site from scratch. It's a electronic magazine, lot's of content - news, photos, videos, forum, and a bunch of other stuff.
My questions are:
1 - VERSION: Should i do this in 1.0 or 1.5? Most of the components i've seen so far are for 1.0, like Pony Gallery ML (ideal for my photos section).
2 - FREELANCE: Any of you at RocketTheme is willing to do custom work? Component, extension change, creation?
3 - COMPONENT: Anyone has iJoomla News Portal component? Is it worth it?
4 - COMPONENT: Anyone knows any other good gallery component like Pony?
5 - FORUM: I already have a forum running, it's SMF (i chosed it because i saw it here and liked it). It works great, but now i've read that i can only use with Joomla 1.0, any good forum for 1.5, can i migrate the database from my current SMF forum?
Really would like to know what you people think.
Thanks,
Asimo

1) Sounds like you've answered this one yourself, if you need extensions that are only available for 1.0.x, use that.
2) Yes there are freelancers here.
3) I believe that iJoomla is being used here (correct me if I am wrong). That says a lot.
4) There are plenty of gallery software choices and there a several threads here discussing that.
5) Again, there are several threads on this subject here, try the advanced search feature. Fyi I'm hearing a lot of good things about phpbb3... but there isn't a bridge yet. - The member formerly known as Roland Deschain

Thanks for your help!
1 - The thing is, wont i regreat it in a near future? I've looked arround and some people say 1 thing, other say a different thing. Considering that i'm planning to launch this project in the summer, should i look for anoher extensions that work with 1.5?
2 - Well please contact me. I'm looking for professional people, no newbies. Please message me with work examples. I'll require custom coding work, coding adaptation, css and other work.
3 - Where is ijoomla being used here? In frontpage? If anyone has any other examples of this component use, please let me know.
4 - I've searched but i'll check again, thanks!
5 - I've searched but i'll check again, thanks!

I'm in the same sort of boat, new website and the dilemma of 1.0 or 1.5. I decided to bite the bullet and go with 1.5. There are a few components out there that I would like to have used, and the site is unfortunately running in legacy as I still cannot find a forum component that I trust that is 1.5 native. I figure that if I have anything specific that I need that I cannot create, I'll outsource it.
i think 1.5 is just that bit more future proof.

You would know better than I Damo, I thought that I had read that quite some time ago but obviously I goofed up! Apologies for the confusion. :-[ - The member formerly known as Roland Deschain

Is there any real problem for a web-site to be running in legacy mode?
I understand that this mode doesnt take advantage of all the possibilitys of joomla 1.5, but it seems to be a good way to go. I mean, start the web-site in legacy, and hope in the future you can run it with native components.
