10. HISTORY OF JOOMLA
 The genesis of Joomla goes back to August 2005 when the project broke off
from another web design project Mambo. The whole concern of the
development team was to put this content management software into the open
source domain. Internet users at the Open Source Matters website
(www.opensourcematters.org) spoke in support for the new project and in early
September of 2005, Joomla! was born. The word comes from the Arabic for "all
together", which is an important idea for this web design project.
 Joomla is now the internet's second most popular Content Management System
after WordPress.

12. WHY JOOMLA IS BETTER THAN OTHER CMS?
Joomla Other CMS
 It is designed to work perfectly in basic
shared web hosting environments, a
package that is least expensive and most
common. Installer is simple and just like any
other common desktop software.
 It is supported by several extensions, add-
on, and plug in. They are written in PHP,
which is most widely used, general purpose
scripting language and best suited for web
development
 The installation process is a bit complicated.
 Add-ons, Plug-ins, although deeply
integrated, but are less powerful compared
to Joomla.
 It is not known to support it.

13. JOOMLA V/S DRUPAL
 Joomla supports SSL logins and SSL
pages.
 Joomla's biggest strength is that it has
a wide selection of free and
commercial designs.
 TinyMCE (in built editor) comes with
Joomla.
 The default WYSIWYG (What You See
is What You Get !) editor allows video
and there are plenty of podcast and
video extensions.
 DocMan and Rokdownloads are both
reliable document managers.
 Drupal not known to support it.
 Very few commercial developers and
off-the-shelf choices are very poor.
Most designs are custom-made.
 Probably the most common complaint
about Drupal - it has no default editor.
 Not by default but several multimedia
modules for video and podcasting are
available.
 Would need to be constructed from
other modules.
