As of today I start to study Joomla 1.5. It's predecessor already amaze me, with only PHP language it can act like an Operating System. It has an installation / uninstallation system !!! But with a major drawback for web programmer like me. Everything installed by it's system is owned by user id that runs the web server, usually httpd or wwwrun.
So, if at some point I need to manually edit its code, I can't. I had to edit it locally, make sure everything is fine, create new installation package, uninstall my package from the server and finally re-install my package. It's fine if I had a big revision of my extension, but what if I only need to change an "A" into an "a"?
In 1.5 this drawback is erased.. cheers.. now it has a FTP layer, as the developer said, you won't have an ownership problem just like the previous version has. If in 1.x version all files were uploaded thru web server's post method, in this version files are uploaded thru FTP with your user id and password.
I don't have to re-install and install my extension again just to change that "A" into "a", I could just edited right away and than update my local copy.
