We have planned to fork Joomla! 1.5 with the name STRELIN. As Joomla is moving to 1.6, we would like to add new features without breaking the compatibility, with the new name Strelin. Of course that will be free and GPL. A simpler, better ACL (we are trying to make it simpler than Joomla 1.6 ACL) is the first one.

Can there be any issues? legal, copyright etc.? thoughts? Any help/ideas will be really appreciated.

Thank you.

As far as I know, you can do anything you like as long as you respect GPL.

The Joomla artwork will be copyrighted unless stated otherwise so you'll probably need to strip out the presentation layer and replace it with your own.

Joomla was originally forked from Mambo.
