I am trying to build a website that integrates Joomla!, SMF, and Coppermine all together. SMF is on the verge of a new stable release, Joomla I just recently switched to from Mambo, and Coppermine looks to be gearing up for a new stable release that will finally integrate properly with Mambo (possibly Joomla?). I am having difficulty deciding if I should go ahead and attempt to create this website with the current stable release of Coppermine or if I should just do without it until the current beta finally becomes a stable version.
My question then is how much time is it likely to take until a new stable version of Coppermine is released (if you're allowed to say) based off of historical knowledge of the Coppermine project and the progress that has been made so far?
