It was launched in 2005 as a fork of the Mambo CMS \u2013 another popular platform at the time. Joomla! is open-source and completely free to use for any type of project. Currently, it powers about 2-3% of all websites worldwide (depending on the source). Its architecture is very flexible, with a clear separation between design from content.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"984\" height=\"514\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla13.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of the Joomla forum post announcing the release of Joomla 1.0\" class=\"wp-image-14373 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla13.png 984w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla13-300x157.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 984px) 100vw, 984px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 984px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 984\/514;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot of the Joomla forum post announcing the release of Joomla 1.0 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Joomla! is supported by Open Source Matters, Inc. - a not-for-profit corporation that provides legal, financial, and organizational support for the CMS.

Although Joomla!\u2019s market share seems modest, it powers more than 2 million websites worldwide, including several Fortune 500 companies. Thousands of themes and extensions are available in the official Joomla! <a href=\"https:\/\/extensions.joomla.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">repository<\/a>, and many more premium options are available through third-party marketplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joomla! has a lot of strengths, such as built-in multilingual support, strong user management, and structured content organization. While its learning curve is a bit steeper than that of WordPress, Joomla! is a great choice for organizations, companies, and non-profits, where security, scalability, and content architecture matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#32373c;background-color:#3373dc\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-notice gb-font-size-18 gb-block-notice\" data-id=\"5e5432\"><div class=\"gb-notice-text\" style=\"border-color:#3373dc\"><p><em>Our App Installer allows you to install the latest version of Joomla on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/en\/hosting\/shared\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hosting account<\/a> with just a few clicks!<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-curious-facts-about-joomla-60224c50-2264-47aa-8e36-9e8a6370ebe1\">10 curious facts about Joomla!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Joomla! has been around for two decades, and it powers millions of websites. Yet, despite its long history, there are still many lesser-known facts about the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are ten interesting things you might not know about Joomla!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-the-name-comes-from-swahili-38268e85-1ffd-4207-92f3-0b7e0e83b787\">1. The name comes from Swahili<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have wondered what \u201cJoomla!\u201d means. The name comes from the Swahili word \u201cJumla\u201d (spelled phonetically), which translates to \u201call together\u201d or \u201cas a whole\u201d. It reflects the project\u2019s core values of community and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally, the team considered \u201cMambo Open Source\u201d or a similar name. The reason was that Joomla! started as a fork of Mambo, which was also called Mambo CMS and even Mambo Open Source (MOS) at different times. They later dropped the idea to avoid trademark issues. They eventually settled on the name \u201cJoomla!\u201d, adding the extra \u201co\u201d for legal safety and for easier pronunciation by the global audience. The platform\u2019s official name is actually \u201cJoomla!\u201d, with an exclamation mark that conveys the energy and excitement behind the project.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"323\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla14-1024x323.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of the forum post announcing Joomla as the name of the new content management system\" class=\"wp-image-14375 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla14-1024x323.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla14-300x95.png 300w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla14.png 1184w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/323;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The name Joomla was chosen on August 30, 2005, but the team announced it on September 1, 2005.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-joomla-launch-parties-are-a-tradition-57aa26f2-7e4c-4662-b5d0-3daf208ebfed\">2.

Developers and community members from all around the world celebrated the release of the open-source CMS. Since then, launch parties for major Joomla! releases have become a tradition. The events are designed to showcase new features and to celebrate the people who make Joomla! possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Launch parties are less formal than other Joomla! events. They can include social activities and usually last a single evening or half-day. While other software communities also hold similar parties, Joomla! really stands out for turning its Launch Parties into a lasting and unique communal tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-joomla-events-are-also-a-thing-f2766e51-4c5f-47da-917d-e739225321a6\">3.

Joomla! users have similar, albeit less popular meetings. Depending on their format and purpose, Joomla! events take on different names - JoomlaDay, JoomlaNight, Pizza, Bugs and Fun, Joomla Festival, JoomlaCamp, etc. These events have been organized since 2006, when the first JoomlaDay was held in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"660\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla6.jpg\" alt=\"JoomlaDay USA participants\" class=\"wp-image-14362 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla6-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla6-370x245.jpg 370w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/660;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A Joomla!

Sponsors may cover costs (venue, equipment, catering, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For details on all upcoming Joomla! events, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/community.joomla.org\/events.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-the-joomla-logo-was-chosen-by-the-community-0b41ad18-52ff-43a0-b001-66f1bf2f88cf\">4. The Joomla! logo was chosen by the community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the best examples of the Joomla! community spirit. The CMS was created as a fully open-source project that will be managed with transparency and community participation. This is why the Joomla! logo was selected through a community contest. About 500 community members <a href=\"https:\/\/forum.joomla.org\/viewtopic.php?f=145&amp;t=5953\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">submitted<\/a> logo proposals. A total of 2671 members voted, with 31% going to the logo created by Alan Urquhart, a graphic designer and a community member. The submission was named \u201cJoomla 01\u201d and included a total of eight color and black-and-white designs to be used for different purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"14348\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla5.jpg\" alt=\"One of the finalists in the Joomla logo contest in 2005 called Joomla Among Us\" class=\"wp-image-14348 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla5-300x250.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/500;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"14351\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla4.jpg\" alt=\"One of the finalists in the Joomla logo contest in 2005 called JBird\" class=\"wp-image-14351 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla4-300x250.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/500;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"14349\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla3.jpg\" alt=\"One of the finalists in the Joomla logo contest in 2005 called Joomla Fish\" class=\"wp-image-14349 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla3-300x250.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/500;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"14350\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla2.jpg\" alt=\"The winning logo proposal for the official Joomla logo in 2005\" class=\"wp-image-14350 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla2-300x250.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/500;\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">The winning Joomla! logo proposal (bottom) along with three of the finalists.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, the logo has been reimagined by the community, but it continues to embody the same values of openness and collaboration that define the Joomla! community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-joomla-has-inspired-songs-and-fan-art-100e3bd9-f3e1-4941-98e3-56f64dfa61fd\">5.

Below, you can explore some examples of community-created fan art and music inspired by Joomla!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe  id=\"_ytid_58162\"  width=\"770\" height=\"578\"  data-origwidth=\"770\" data-origheight=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NndFauoVJNA?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe  id=\"_ytid_95310\"  width=\"770\" height=\"433\"  data-origwidth=\"770\" data-origheight=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ASCcIP1Dv5c?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"14364\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla7.jpg\" alt=\"Joomla logo fan art submission\" class=\"wp-image-14364 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla7.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla7-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla7-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla7-370x370.jpg 370w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/600;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"14365\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla8.jpg\" alt=\"Joomla fan art submission\" class=\"wp-image-14365 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla8.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla8-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla8-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla8-370x370.jpg 370w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/600;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-joomla-also-had-forks-1ff72a6f-1679-4f52-a208-89ba5436bb07\">6. Joomla! also had forks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Joomla! started as a fork of the Mambo CMS in 2005, but it had forks of its own. The two most notable among them were named Nooku and Molajo.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"301\" height=\"140\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla9.png\" alt=\"The logo of Nooku, a Joomla fork\" class=\"wp-image-14367 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 301px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 301\/140;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Nooku was a PHP framework created in 2007 by Johan Janssens, one of Joomla!\u2019s co-founders. It was forked from Joomla!'s codebase with the goal of accelerating web application development and simplifying website creation. Some of Nooku\u2019s innovations, such as improved multilingual support and more organized code arhitecture, were later integrated into Joomla!. In 2014, the Nooku framework transformed into the Joomlatools framework. It is no longer maintained as a standalone project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Molajo, launched in 2011, focused on improving the CMS by adopting cleaner, more maintainable code, and improving the developer experience. The goal was to create a platform that allowed developers to create and reuse components more efficiently. Like Nooku, the Molajo project has since become inactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several other experimental \/ short-lived forks emerged over the years, but they were used primarily for testing and research, without long-term development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-joomla-won-an-award-only-a-month-after-it-was-launched-b2c11ebf-e79b-4e35-a7f1-757b564cc02e\">7. Joomla! won an award only a month after it was launched!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It took just one month for Joomla! to earn its first major recognition - <em>Best Linux \/ Open Source Project<\/em> at the <em>2005 Linux &amp; Open Source Awards in London<\/em>. Around the same time, Brian Teeman, a core member, received the award for \"<em>UK Individual Contribution to Open Source Software<\/em>\". Since then, Joomla! has continued to receive awards almost every year (with the exception of 2013). The CMS has been recognized multiple times in the <em>CMS Critic People's Choice Awards<\/em> in the categories \u201c<em>Best Open Source CMS<\/em>\u201d and \u201c<em>Best Free CMS<\/em>\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"953\" height=\"540\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla17.jpg\" alt=\"An image of the FOSS Awards logo along with the Joomla logo\" class=\"wp-image-14382 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 953px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 953\/540;width:349px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla17.jpg 953w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla17-300x170.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 953px) 100vw, 953px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Joomla won a 2025 FOSS award in the Best CMS category<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In 2025, Joomla! received two more awards - <em>Best Open Source CMS<\/em> from the <em>CMS Critic People's Choice Awards<\/em>, and the <em>CMS Award<\/em> from the <em>FOSS Awards<\/em>.

Joomla! is much more than that, though. At its core, it is powered by the Joomla! Framework - a set of standalone, reusable PHP libraries designed to simplify the development of custom applications. In fact, the Joomla! CMS itself is built on top of the Joomla! Framework. The CMS uses these libraries and adds the additional CMS-specific layers on top - content management, menus, templates, extensions, and other features users associate with Joomla!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Joomla!

They may be related to the release\u2019s goals or philosophy, although they can also be random names that simply help developers to refer to a release without confusion. The most popular examples of software projects that use codenames include macOS, WordPress, Android, and Photoshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that Joomla! uses codenames too? While they are for internal use and are not mentioned in the official release notes, they reveal an interesting part of the project\u2019s history. The early Joomla! versions had solar-themed codenames such as <em>Sunrise <\/em>(1.0.0), <em>Sunburst <\/em>(1.0.1), <em>Sunshine <\/em>(1.0.9), and <em>Daybreak <\/em>(1.0.14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1.5.x versions adopted codenames in Yaqui (the language of the native people of Mexico), such as <em>Seenu<\/em>, <em>Woi<\/em>, and <em>Wahi<\/em>. Later versions introduced more inspirational codenames - the 1.6.x and 1.7.x releases had names such as <em>Hope<\/em>, <em>Onward, <\/em>and <em>Ember<\/em>, Joomla! 3 was named <em>Daraja<\/em>, Joomla! 4 was called <em>Furaha <\/em>(\u201chappiness\u201d in Swahili), and Joomla! 5 used the codename <em>Panta Rhei<\/em> (Greek for \u201ceverything flows\u201d). You can find a nearly complete list of Joomla!\u2019s codenames here: <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.Joomla.org\/Joomla!_Codenames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/docs.Joomla.org\/Joomla!_Codenames<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-it-was-ahead-of-its-time-in-many-ways-4ae55b55-2052-48b5-a922-a605afb4b5de\">10. Joomla! was ahead of its time in many ways<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, Joomla! has introduced lots of features that are now standard in most content management systems. Joomla! was the first one that implemented them, long before competitors like WordPress or Drupal. Some of the platform\u2019s more significant innovations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Built-in multilingual support<\/strong> without the need for additional plugins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Granular access control lists (ACL)<\/strong> to manage user permissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Responsive admin UI<\/strong> for backend management on any device.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Model-View-Controller (MVC)<\/strong> architecture for extensions, which separates data, design, and control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Early Bootstrap integration<\/strong>, enabling responsive design for templates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Two-factor authentication in the core system<\/strong> for better security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Content versioning<\/strong>, allowing users to track and revert changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few examples of Joomla-first features. Although Joomla! is less popular than WordPress, these innovations highlight the community\u2019s devotion to developing a powerful and flexible platform.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6adc29a4e9521&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6adc29a4e9521\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla16-1024x539.png\" alt=\"A screenshot of the Joomla dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-14388 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla16-1024x539.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla16-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/www.icdsoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/joomla16-1536x808.png 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/539;\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Joomla is a modern open-source platform that has introduced many innovative features to the world of content management.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wrap-up-8488304c-8bac-4956-922c-80d384264db4\">Wrap-Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Joomla! is a feature-rich content management system that has evolved significantly over the years.
