PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Joomla! is an AMP-based Open Source Content Management System. Instead of competing with the rich and expansive features of Nuke, Joomla focuses on ease of use. Joomla! is a fork from the Mambo CMS which continues to exist with new developers. All previous Mambo developers now are working on Joomla!. Joomla! is the easiest CMS solution to build a custom theme for using Dreamweaver or Golive and it is also the easiest solution to train people to work with. If you need to build an interactive website and train people to manage it themselves, this might be the best solution.
Some of fantastic features include Google compatible URLs, online visual html editor, easy meta-data per page. Joomla! is also very extensible with custom modules and components including some of the most popular projects such as PHPBB2, Gallery, and others. Joomla! specific components are also extremely well-made including a very effective help desk system.
Joomla! is currently at version 1.0.12. The 1.0.x updates have refined the interface, adds some minor features and various bug and security fixes to Mambo 4.5.2.3. This is the final release of the 1.0 codebase. Joomla! 1.5 will be shipping later this year.
Note: Please do not respond with questions to this thread. If you have difficulties with your installation create a new thread in this forum forum, post at the Joomla! Forum, or contact me.
