Joomla
He says, this is one of the most mature, free content management systems available with another CMS Mambo. He explains how Joomla and Mambo is different in the following points:
- 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 interface, similar default component and module sets
- Both Joomla 1.5 and Mambo 4.6 will include internationalization support. Joomla will use an easy-to-use ‘ini’ format for their translation files while Mambo uses the ‘gettext’ format. Joomla 1.5 will correctly support the UTF-8 character set
- Joomla 1.5 also includes many new features such as additional authentication models (LDAP, Gmail, and the like), XML-RPC client-server support. It also natively supports database drivers for MySQL 4.1+ (on PHP 5) and has improved support for MySQL 5 as well as the groundings to support other database engines.
