Here are some interesting Joomla blog posts I found during week 39.
There's a really nice post about Joomla 1.6 caching and Brian Teeman talks about meetups at Joomla!Days and about the spending of Open Source Matters funds.
The October issue of the Joomla! Community Magazine is out, and PC World talks about eBay using Joomla, just to mention some of the notable posts from this week.
Have a great week!
Joomla 1.6 caching demystified (Jennifer series)
Joomla 1.6. makes heavy use of caching and to be able to use it's full potential we must first understand how caching works. As caching was almost completely redone for 1.6. (mostly by the author of this article), some older descriptions and typologies don't apply any more.

Test Package for Version 1.5.21 Available Now
Written by Mark Dexter
Two days ago, a security vulnerability in Joomla! was reported to the JSST (Joomla! Security Strike Team). In case you don't know how these things are supposed to work, security issues are normally kept secret until the fix is available for download in a new released version. That way, the bad guys don't learn of it until admins have a chance to upgrade their sites.
For reasons known only to him or her self, the person who reported this issue (ironically from an organization called YGN Ethical Hacker Group) decided to go public after only two days -- before we had time to code, test, and deploy a solution.
