Mambo Changes its Name to Joomla!

Phil Shapiro writes "The popular open source content management system named Mambo has changed its name to Joomla! -- released under the GNU Public License. Some of the reasons for the name change are explained at MamboPortal.com. Joomla! is used by a very wide array of organizations and companies."

This is not good...

I thought it was pretty bad telling my friends I used Mambo...


Now I have to say I use Joomla!, which is almost as ridiculous as saying Yahoo! out loud...

Awesome

heh, "server stress test"... you've said that a couple of times already, and it wasn't a particularly good comeback the first time. Face it, your site sucks, your shameless plugs are annoying, and nobody cares if your site gets a good slashdotting.

Love, Jesus

Invalid markup from Slashdot is a disgrace.

Go ahead and TRY to see what happens when you TRY to run Slashdot, the prime butt trumpet of "standards complience" through the W3C validators. Go ahead! [w3.org] OH! Is that a "403 Forbidden"? Hmm....
