What are the differences between Joomla and Mambo content management systems?

Question

These 2 seem quite similar to me. Does anyone know of any differences or features which one has but the other doesn't.

Answer 1

They are very closely related - Joomla is what's known as a "fork" of Mambo. The original group of developers weren't happy with some of the organisational changes behind Mambo, so they took the code and set up their own organisation to produce Joomla. At present, the systems are very similar, but it's likely they will diverge as time goes on.

Answer 2

There isnt much difference. Use what you feel comfy with
