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.

6. 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.

7. 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
