Joomla! 2.5 reached end of support
If you're still using Joomla 2.5, you sure noticed by now that this series reached end of support date by the end of last year. That means there will no longer be any security or bug fixes for that version. Obviously, you don't want to stay on an unsupported version of your CMS and should update to Joomla 3 as soon as possible.

Joomla Answers is a Stack Exchange proposal to have an own SX site for Joomla related questions like Stack Overflow.
The proposal is currently in its Commitment state, and you can help bring it into Beta. I think it would be a great ressource for troubleshooting Joomla problems. Better than asking in the official forum or the Google groups.
If you think this is a good suggestion, go to the Area51 site and commit yourself to the proposal. It also doesn't hurt if you are active on any other Stack Exchange site and have or build up some reputation.
There is also a discussion going on in the CMS Google group initiated by Nils Rückmann.
