What Really Happened with Mambo?

Anonymous Coward writes "What Happened with Mambo? There is a good article about the recent events that resulted in a changing of the guard at Mambo. Jem Matzan does his best to objectively debunk what happened. It looks like much research was conducted to produce this article and it is very informative. Check it out!"

It got surpassed by Salsa in the next year?

[Pac]

All these tropical music styles seem to follow a cycle of sudden, quick popularity, quick fall back into oblivion as a new, hotter style is "discovered" and then a revival every other decade. Mambo wouldn't be different.

I've been holding out on Samba. I figure Bossa Nova's right around the corner.

So does this mean mama doesn't love Mambo?

server slashdotted

As an admin at his hosting company, I can't really see why it's /.'d. Maybe I should have a tech have a peak at the server...

And they haven't lost control... They now have "control" of a dead project. Be careful what you wish for!

So he's right that no one will buy it!

Obviously they're not good at documentation

[billstewart]

Look, if they can't get a Slashdot article to say what Mambo *is*, and the people who reply say you really ought to be using Joomla instead, without any explanation about that either, and the website's Slashdotted because nobody else can figure out what it is and the website has too much graphical content to survive that many downloads, they're obviously not good at documentation or naming. Is Mambo a development environment, or a game, or a compiler, or another guy you're supposed to vote for instead of Kodos?
