Joomla! is a free and open source content management system (CMS) for publishing content on the World Wide Web and intranets. It comprises a model-view-controller (MVC) Web application framework that can also be used independently. Joomla! is written in PHP, uses object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques and software design patterns, stores data in a MySQL database, and includes features such as page caching, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, polls, search, and support for language internationalization.
System was the result of a fork of Mambo on August 17, 2005. Within its first year of release, Joomla had been downloaded 2.5 million times. Between March 2007 and February 2011 there had been more than 21 million downloads. There are over 6,000 free and commercial plug-ins available from the official Extension Directory and more available from other sources.
At that time, the Mambo name was trademarked by Miro International Pvt Ltd. who formed a non-profit foundation with the stated purpose to fund the project and protect it from lawsuits. Development team claimed that many of the provisions of the foundation structure went against previous agreements made by the elected Mambo Steering Committee, lacked the necessary consultation with key stake-holders and included provisions that violated core open source values.
CMS can also be installed via the Microsoft Web Platform Installer which installs the software on Windows and IIS. The Web PI will automatically detect any missing dependencies such as PHP or MySQL then install and configure them before installing. System can be installed manually from source code on a system running a web server which supports PHP applications, from a package management system or using a TurnKey Joomla appliance which comprises the application and its dependencies as a ready-to-use system. There are numerous web hosting companies who provide a control panel which automates the deployment of a basic web site.
A letter was written by the project leader Andrew Eddie which appeared on the announcements section of the public forum at mamboserver.com. A little more than one thousand people had joined the OpenSourceMatters.org web site within a day, most posting words of encouragement and support, and the web site received the slashdot effect as a result. Development team created a web site called OpenSourceMatters.org to distribute information to users, developers, web designers and the community in general.
