In fact, its more! I have been watching closely the new budding culture growing around Aliro, a new fork. I am very excited about the features: (source link here)
Aliro features
Aliro is an evolutionary development from Mambo and Joomla. By using the latest technology (PHP5 and MySQL5) it is able to advance significantly in quality of code and efficiency of operation. Major features include:
- Accessibility – Aliro is designed for accessibility. Almost all XHTML is removed from the core, and what little remains is purely semantic. The admin side can be run without JavaScript. Since the core of Aliro does not provide any user visible services, the user side can also run without JavaScript so far as Aliro is concerned. It is the responsibility of extensions to maintain this standard.
- Site templates – the template model is made more advanced by giving greater control to the template. Other elements that create the output for the browser are expected to produce only semantic XHTML.
- The design of Aliro makes it fast, efficient and scalable and includes smart cache services
- Authentication of users is optional – when used it is flexible and extensible
- Aliro contains a completely new Role Based Access Control system that is powerful and efficient
- All requests from a browser that accepts cookies are sessions, so a shopping cart or similar can be active immediately
- The rationalised object model used in Aliro makes development of extensions quicker and easier
- Database capabilities have been extended to require much less to be fixed in code, and therefore to allow much easier customisation
- An integral error recorder traps problems without giving diagnostic information to users (who may be hackers) while retaining extensive diagnostic information
- The Aliro standard folder manager provides an arbitrary depth structure around which a site can be built
- A simplified plugin architecture allows much greater use of plugins for customisation and integration
- Menu logic permits more powerful choices for extensions and leaves presentation issues to replaceable modules
As you can see this is a powerful start to a great new CMS.

Tim O’Reilly (of the book fame) has some interesting comments about the GNU.
Click the above link to read.
Its a very powerful article and raises some interesting questions, in this authors mind, esp., as it could relate to the ‘burning torches and pitch forks attitude towards the contribution and future existence of 3rd party developers‘ of the Joomla!(TM) core team and their fanatical GPL/GNU is the law supporters.
Will this enable the 3rd party devs to get around the everything is a derivative? Time will tell…..

Who is “She”?
We all know..She is the purist who wishes to protect and defend something that has no real meaning. She has no idea as to what She’s really talking about but like a good left wing (US SPEAK for commie), She is polluting the idea of opensource.
Wow – there are plenty of folks who wish she would shut up.
Why the Opensource debate on Joomla! (TM) is killing Open Source…Coming soon to a a book store near you.

Its true, a certain poster finds it necessary to chase everyone on every board and post the blithering untruth of the “HOLY GPL”.
We all know who that is and many, many people feel enough is enough.

Mambo has begun to put together a strategic plan. Interesting their goal is to be the “most used” [hence most popular] CMS on the planet. A loftly goal, but one they can easily attain.

An interesting post from SpaceMonkey regarding the rider.
According to various sources his story is accurate.
Which begs the question, is the rider illegal or distasteful?
Why the continued stoning of commercial developers? Who knows.
Here is the article.
