Joomla 1.6
Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.
Joomla! has an official and many unofficial communities. By July 2008, the official Joomla! forum had more than 300,000 threads and over 1.3 million posts from more than 255,000 registered members in 40 languages.[12] Unofficial sites are published in many languages, often with Joomla! extensions that are region specific.
My experiences with Joomla have been somewhat mixed. In addition to a fundamental category/subcategory flaw, I often found myself running up against limitations or needing to seek the help of other developers to add functionality that seems fundamental in my opinion. In the future, I will probably start using Drupal. But all criticisms aside, I am still greatly appreciative of the time and effort put forth by the Joomla community.
