| Joomla! is life!
It is an open-source project that is in constant motion. It is unpredictable, sometimes indescribable, partially controversial, now and then slightly sleepy, and provincial. Despite this, or perhaps exactly because of this, it has been extremely successful for two years now and is popular with millions of users worldwide.
There is a stable, widely used, and popular version 1.0x. For the past two years, developers have hammered, tinkered, forged, modified, disagreed, deleted, expanded, and hammered again.
Two incredibly exciting years have passed since the foundation of Joomla! 2005.
The Joomla! team has organized and established itself in these years, it has enhanced Joomla! 1.0 up to version 1.0.13 and has now taken the biggest development step so far with version 1.5.
The users of the system have been equally ambitious. Many of them have converted their websites from Mambo to Joomla! And many users have come brand new to Joomla!, and there are still some people in this world that don't know the system.
Joomla! is the most widely used open-source Web Content Management System in the world.
One year after the foundation of the project, in the fall of 2006, the development team reported approximately 5,000,000 Joomla! installations on public web servers that were being used more or less continuously. There were 45,000 registered developers with 1,100 projects that expanded Joomla! with additional functionalities. There were 450,000 entries from 50,000 users in the forum at joomla.org. |
