Joomla! is an
open source
Content Management System (
CMS) designed to assist
users in building
Web sites and other online applications. Joomla is a
continuation of the work of the Development Team that unanimously resigned from
the
Mambo project in August 2005. Joomla version 1.0 is derived from Mambo
4.5.2.3 but includes many additional
bug fixes and security
patches. The
name Joomla is a phonetic spelling for the Swahili word "Jumla", which means
"all together" or "as a whole".

Joomla! Web site]
