Overview
Content Management systems (CMS) offer the promise of: publishing tools, user authentication, modular structure and support for plugins, among many to build a
professional websites
Overview
Joomla/Mambo are both a CMS and one of the highest profile open source LAMP
projects going, boasting a substantial user community and a number of open source awards
Overview
Is Joomla! a fork of Mambo? Some call it a fork. Some call it a spoon. Some call it an entire table setting. Whatever your philisophical persuasion, the facts are
that Joomla is a continuation of the work of the Development Team which unanimously resigned from the Mambo project in August 2005.
Overview
How do the versions compare? Joomla version 1.0 is derived from Mambo 4.5.2.3 but
includes many additional bug fixes and security patches.
Joomla version 1.5 is an extensive refactoring of the API as is Mambo version 4.6 to its codebase.
Both applications continue maintain a similar user inferface (look and feel)
Joomla 1.5 also includes many new features such as additional authentication models (LDAP, Gmail, etc), xml-rpc client-server support.
Overview
Will Mambo addons continue to work in Joomla! ?
Addons (templates, components, modules, mambots and language packs) designed for Mambo 4.5.2 will generally run on Joomla 1.0.
Mambo addons designed for version 4.6 will likely not run on Joomla, nor will extensions designed for Joomla 1.5 run on Mambo.
