Het populaire opensource-cms Joomla is bijgewerkt naar versie 1.5.8. 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. Het kan bijvoorbeeld gebruikt worden om een weblog, een website of een collaboratiesite te maken. Om het programma in het Nederlands te gebruiken kun je op de Dutch Joomla of de Joomla! Community terecht. Een compleet overzicht van alle veranderingen in versie 1.5 kan op deze pagina worden gevonden; hieronder staan de release notes van versie 1.5.8:
