First and foremost, Mambo
is a Content Management System (CMS). It is the engine behind your
website that simplifies the creation, management, and sharing of
content.
There is an excellent article on How
to evaluate a Content Management System (written by James Robertson)
that covers the features of a good content management system in great detail.
The goal of the Mambo project is to meet most of the requirements highlighted
in the above article. As each day in development goes by we are getting nearer
and nearer, while at the same time building a solid core which can be extended
by third party developers. In the hands of a custom developer, this makes
Mambo a powerful platform for a wide variety of Internet applications that
go far above and beyond the simple creation of content.
What Mambo isn't! Mambo is not a typical "portal" solution.
While Mambo can be modified or extended to provide this style of
site this is not the goal of the project. Mambo is aimed at the more
squarely at corporate websites or sites for small to medium businesses,
families or personal sites. The Mambo Development Team focuses on
building a solid application framework rather than on add-ons that
are typically found in many portal solutions. This keeps the Mambo
core extremely lightweight and efficient, thus making it easier for
anybody to extend Mambo through custom third party component and
modules that directly serve their needs.
