I did a google search on php_flag register_globals and joomla was in the 8th position.

I tried Joomla for the first time several weeks ago. I really like what I see and hope to spend more time looking at it. At a very minimum extracts can expedite my efforts and possibly something as simple as a template change may get me where I want to go. It's a smooth application that would take a bunch of work to duplicate.

Hearing the security problems are not directly related to Joomla is great news. I also think that the source code should be at a minimum adequate due to peer review.

Thoughts?

If I might ask, what kind of website are you going for? Pertaining to the security aspect, are you on your own server? If so, check out Suhosin from hardened-php.net . Absolutely invaluable. Source code security isn't even really *that* important (that's not to say it *isn't* important, mind you.) if you have Suhosin setup correctly.
