[edit] A little introduction

This is Elamic's page. Arthouse creative. Somewhat involved with lotsa CMS systems so I do patrol on the CMS pages I know about. More inclusionist than exclusionist. Attribution and copyright matter so I'd prefer to include an attributable link to some developing event than exclude it.

[edit] Page edits to do

Joomla - Jamboworks and Miro quotes on rumors both ways (Miro at fault, Core Team/Jambo at fault) to maintain NPOV and remove soapbox / advertising issue

http://www.krsaborio.net/research/2000s/05/0823_a.htm - Instances of conflict of interest towards commercialisation has happened in the Core Team ad nausem

http://source.mambo-foundation.org/content/view/22/39/ - JEM Report repost : "Because of this, JamboWorks is commited [sic] to supporting the Joomla! project." and "Lamont didn't trust Eddie or Teeman, or their friends; he had seen evidence that suggested they were planning to wrest control of the project for their own commercial purposes".

The other option is to remove all rumors (which place fault at Miro) in order to maintain NPOV. However, it's historical record that rumours of wrongdoing went both ways.

More research: Joomla stated as being part of community involvement, yet not listed in stated thread:

http://www.joomla.org/content/view/3564/107/ and http://www.opensourcematters.org/content/view/79/40/ state it was community based, yet the thread which seeks to present the potential names does not mention it. This makes it unverifiable material that the name was chosen by the community.
