We have already felt the pain Nate ;)
Mambo has a core + core extensions. With the release of Mambo 4.6 a
couple of years ago we began releasing two versions, which were called
"Mambo" (or, in the earlier days, "Mambo Complete") and "Mambo Lite".
Mambo Lite is the core with no core extensions. All
I don't see that as an option. One thing that has to be done well,
right from the outset, is the planning. A lot of work is currently
being done in that area. I agree with the comments made by James K. on
that - if Mambo is not planned well we will limit ourselves too much.
The current developmen
Would it be feasible to merge one of the existing Cake CMS projects into
this new effort to provide a head-start?

I second what Nate said, especially #2.
It would be awesome if Mambo was both a full standalone CMS, but also
a plugin that could be dropped into any Cake app to provide CMS

Based on your stated goals, the two suggestions I would add are:
(1) Develop as many of Mambo's features as possible as extensions.
This will not only make the CMS itself as flexible as possible (and
the CMS's extension API as robust as possible), but it will also help

Very good advice.
Ignore at mambo's peril.

Simple - if you're starting from scratch, seriously start over and
rethink a lot of the fundamentals.
Mambo's idea of what content is and how it should be organized within
a CMS is very outdated and short sighted.
Joomla's been making a valiant effort to modernize the Mambo codebase,
but it stil

@Rafael, we are aware of the challenge that a
A huge benefit for the community would be a content repository
behavior. This would be somehow similar to phishys versionable, but
special to content versioning.
There is a specification for java content repositories:

For me a clean API that is easy to use is something that I would want
in a CMS. Many of the popular CMS have very complicated API's or
multiple API's which are confusing. As for theming, keep it simple.
I'm not familiar with the mambo code base, but I despise non PHP
templates. It just makes thi
What I see a lot is people looking for a admin backend that actually
works.
A CMS just for the MS.
I think that a fashion way of delivering data to views, and a good UI
work on admin end is what people really seek.
Modularity and extensibility are huge pluses - but not strictly
necessary.

Hi
Since the announcement of the rewrite (a year ago ?), I tried a few times to
check the progress,
but I could not find anything. So personally, the first thing I would
expect, is to have a publicly readable repository from which i could
download the last dev version.
After that, I would love the
