Mambo 4.5.1 is ready for production use. Very exciting news. No more digging in the CVS vault for a while at least. Looking at the changelog you realize that the dev team has been moving with considerable speed these last couple of weeks.
All that remains now is to wait for 3rd party addons to be corrected by their respective programmers.
Upgrades are a pain. Even though I don’t run Mambo on battleangel, I do have a production site (that is due any day now) that will use Mambo 4.5.1 for content management. So suffice to say, I am at least somewhat familiar with the inner workings of this CMS. I’ll be sure to post a link and more info as soon as I’m done.
Well, it’s done. Pang Musik! A good showcase of what Mambo can do. And a reasonably good design. Still a few things to do but at least the site is now open to the public.
I don’t think MAMBO is quite ready for prime time.
I looked at the source of several pages around the link you provided and I see:
…
</head>
<body>
<style type="text/css">
<!–
a.bar {
font-family: Arial;
}
a.bar:link {
…
Yet they claim at the top that they are xhtml transitional.
I don’t believe that there’s any xhtml (or html) version that allows style blocks in the body. Specially since there’s already a large style block in the head.
This is as far as I looked.
Ooops. Thats quite a messy document. Thankfully, Mamboforge is not running Mambo
It’s running gforge.org which is some sort of Sourceforge clone. And either way, no matter how good a script is, you can never stop end users from mangling the code.
Examples of sites running Mambo:

http://www.mamboportal.com/
http://www.konze.de/

http://mambo.webraydian.com/

And furthermore .. That also happens to my opinion of of much that goes on in the world. As long as the "template" is sound, who cares if a couple of people like to break their "validation". Many people would of course respond to this by integrating a fool-proof theme engine that validates code. Waste of time imo. Just let people do as they please.
One could almost use this example as an allegory of the real world in this new century.
