Best to wait until J3 is stable, 3.0.1 will be released very soon with 3.0.2 not long after, but there is at least a year before the LTS 3.5 version is released.
To support J3 the support for J1.5 users must be discontinued. I'd guess this will be at VM2.2 release (Milbo may correct me on that!).

In the meantime, if you are an advanced/experienced developer then you could work through this list: http://docs.joomla.org/Potential_backward_compatibility_issues_in_Joomla_3.0_and_Joomla_Platform_12.1

Hi,

Please read the posts that jenkinhill provides you. Joomla 3.0 just released (a week ago) and i am sure have pretty issues. Also J3.0 is not an LTS release, 3.5 will be. So, if you develop sites using joomla cms you already know the answers to your clients and i am sure you can explain why joomla 2.5 is the only J LTS release until now. So you will have to wait i think ... is too soon to speak for web sites using joomla 3

So what If we want to create a new shop right now?

We create it in Joomla 2.5 and Virtuemart 2 and in a few months is outdated again? another nightmare to update to joomla 3 etc?

Just asking, should we wait for joomla 3 and Virtuemart version to be compatible?

Hi,

After the Joomla word conference decided that Joomla 3.5 will not be released until early to mid 2014.
So if you were holding out to upgrade from 1.5 to 3.5, might as well jump on to Joomla 2.5. Joomla 2.5 is a Long Term Release and will be supported until mid 2014.
Joomla 2.5 is the CURRENT version of Joomla.

NO you shouldn't wait! Go with Joomla 2.5 and VM2 ... Joomla 3.5 LTS is far away ...

Current information is that Joomla 2.5 will be officially supported until at least late 2014 if not longer. They have purposefully slowed the major release cycle as an 18 month LTR schedule is unsustainable (and unpopular) for business users and for 3rd party developers.

Thanks for the info.

I guess they also work more and more in making updates less painful for webmasters so maybe the update from joomla 2.5 is to 3.5 is not as bad as it was from joomla 1.5 to 2.5 or maybe im just a dreamer

Well,
sorry but, i still can't find the answer, i might deserve double facepalm but the topic you pointed out says 2.0.4 will be compatible with J3
we're now at 2.0.20 (16 releases later than 2.0.4) and it seems to still not be, so facepalm me as long as you want but, my question stands

[jjk]

...you pointed out says 2.0.4 will be compatible with J3

Read again please 

[bagou01]

quote : "No. That is currently planned for 2.0.4"

[jjk]

You read it again before I corrected that typo. It's planned for version 2.4

ok ok thanks
