Het populaire opensource cms-programma Joomla is van een update naar versie 1.5.4 voorzien. Joomla is de fonetische spelling van het woord 'Jumla', wat in het Swahili zoveel als 'alles samen' of 'in het geheel' betekent. Het programma is een afsplitsing van Mambo en is een dynamisch in php geschreven systeem waarmee de gebruiker content kan beheren, organiseren en uitgeven. Op die manier kan het gebruikt worden om een weblog, website en/of collaboratiesite te maken.
