It's a Baby!!! (Joomla) -- A follow up to the mambo story

[Richard]

This is a follow up to the story about mambo I posted last month (http://www.x10hosting.com/showthread.php?t=7598)

The core (ex Mambo) team have now released the new name for their project... "Joomla"

Its time to choose

http://www.joomla.org/

i spose i will stick with mambo open sorce because i use there data for my website. i think iy was stupid they split up:gives:

 

[MicrotechXP]

Yeah I also think that same way. But fisrt let me try the new one and I will chose then.

 

[Matt]

they look the same

 

[Richard]

For the most part Mambo v4.5.3 and Joomla v4.5.3 will be almost identical since both were created by the same group of people. The big change will come in version 5 when they rewrite the whole system.

Hmm this is an interestrinfg developement.
I will have to see what joomla offers

 

[dBlunt]

wow kool i havent really used mambo but i will be using it soon
so ill just wait till version 5 and then choose

When Joomla is finally out they will probably out do Mambo.. Since they are taking over all mambo projects they did..

 

[chaganlal1]

I dont really know about that since Mambo is most widely used not many peopel would like to try joomla. I will but i am still gonna stick with mambo.

 

[subvertman]

[dsfreak]

I thought u recieved a baby! lol j/k. Pretty odd though.

 

[Richard]

Thats why I added A follow up to the mambo story

The issue between Mambo and Joomla goes deeper then most of you are thinking.

The reason the core team left the Mambo project is because Miro wanted to control the path of Mambo development. Which goes against the principles of
Open Source software by not giving the community any say on where they wan't the project to go.

So with the current path of Mambo it will be you get what they give you. With Joomla it will be more you get what you ask for.

 

[n4tec]

Does that mean that Miro is trying to go commercial with Mambo? And so the development team decide to leave and stick to the objectives of Open source software..

 

[Richard]

No Mambo will stay Open Source but I think it will be run like a comercial program.

Miro has its own program called Jango.It used to be called Mambo.

The Open Source version of Mambo (Mambo Open Source - MOS) is based on Jango.

I did not know that.. thanx..
