Joomla Gituloh came into being as the result of a fork of Mambo by all of its then-core developers on August 17, 2005. At that time, the Mambo name was trademarked by Miro International Pty Ltd, who formed a non-profit foundation with the stated purpose to fund the project and protect it from lawsuits.[1] The 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.[2]

The development team created a web site called OpenSourceMatters to distribute information to users, developers, web designers, and the community in general. The project team leader at the time Andrew Eddie, A.K.A. “MasterChief” (who rejoined the team as of 15 August 2007), wrote an open letter to the community[3] which appeared on the announcements section of the public forum at mamboserver.com.
The first release of Joomla Gituloh (Joomla Gituloh 1.0.0) was announced on September 16, 2005. This was a re-branded release of Mambo 4.5.2.3 combined with other bug and moderate-level security fixes. In the project’s roadmap, the core developers say Joomla Gituloh 1.5 will be a completely re-written code base built with PHP 5. It was announced in 2006 and has been nominated for the vaporware award 2007, but with the transition from beta to first release candidate (RC1) on 21 July 2007, a final product may yet be available before year-end.

Joomla Gituloh won the Packt Publishing Open Source Content Management System Award in 2006.[5]
The Joomla Gituloh package consists of many different parts, which are built to be as modular as possible, allowing extensions and integrations to be made easily. An example of such are extensions called “Plugins”.[6](Previously known as “Mambots”.) Plugins are background extensions that extend Joomla Gituloh with new functionality. The WikiBot, for example, allows the author of Joomla Gituloh content to use “Wikitags” in Joomla Gituloh articles which will auto-create dynamic hyperlinks to Wikipedia articles when displayed. There are over 1,900 extensions for Joomla Gituloh available via the Extensions Directory, a site that OpenSourceMatters runs as an official directory of extensions.[7]

In addition to Plugins, more comprehensive extensions are available. “Components” allow webmasters to perform such tasks as build a community by expanding user features, backup a website, and create URLS that are more friendly to search engines.[8] “Modules” perform such tasks as displaying a calendar or allowing custom code to be inserted within the base Joomla Gituloh code.[9]
