Joomla, the open-source-based content management system that competes against WordPress, Drupal and others in the world of blog, website and intranet creation, has today taken a step up in the world of converged media. The opensource community, which says its platform powers 3% of all the websites in the world, has released version 3.0 of its CMS, which automatically optimizes content created on the platform for the mobile web. Joomla says that its mobile implementation is the first to be built on Twitter Bootstrap, the mobile-friendly toolkit developed by Twitter and released on Github in August 2011 that is a collection ofbase CSS styles for typography, forms, buttons, tables, grids, navigation, alerts and more that are already widely used in the development of websites and apps.

Also among the 15 or so new features in version 3.0 are aPostgreSQL driver, a new user interface for administrators and a new front-end template. Other features have been introduced incrementally since the sitess last version (2.5, out in January) and include the ability tocopy a template, the option to disable the ability to change the Username in Profile and the installation of language packages directly from the extension manager.

The decision to go with Twitter Bootstrap for Joomlas responsive-design mobile implementation, the company says, was made in part because the framework is already popular with developers. Its one example where Twitter has for now continued to work harmoniously with the developer community, at a time when relationships have become somewhat more strained when it comes to third parties working with its own APIs to create Twitter clients.

Meanwhile, the inclusion of the PostgreSQL driver, Joomla notes, will mean it it supports the main repositories for databases (the other two already supported are MySQL and SQL Server).

While sites like WordPress are widely cited as the worlds biggest website-creation platforms, Joomla has also been a significant, if slightly less consumer-focused player in this space. Sites forCitibank, eBay, General Electric, Harvard University, Ikea, McDonalds and Sony have been built on the platform, along with those of smaller blogs and intranets.

Joomla says thatthere are more than half a million active contributors to its open source CMS, and that its software has been downloaded more than 30 million times to date. WordPress, Drupal and Joomla have come to dominate the market for CMS-based websites (as opposed to those that are built from the ground up in custom designs): together, they account for some 75% of the top-1 million CMS-based sites worldwide, according to an estimate from BuiltWith.

Twitter, founded by Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams in March 2006 (launched publicly in July 2006), is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to post updates 140 characters long. Twitter is a real-time information network that connects [users] to the latest stories, ideas, opinions, and news. The service can be accessed through a variety of methods, including Twitters website; text messaging; instant messaging; and third-party desktop, mobile, and web applications. Twitter is currently available in...

Website Creation Platform Joomla Debuts Version 3.0, Mobile And Tablet Optimized Thanks To Twitter Bootstrap

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Sep 27, 2012) - Joomla, one of the world's most popular open source content management systems (CMS) used for everything from websites to blogs to Intranets, today announced the immediate availability of Joomla 3.0. Along with new features such as a PostgreSQL driver, a new user interface for administratorsand a new front-end template, the Joomla CMS can now display content on mobile devices as clearly and distinctly as it does on a personal computer or Mac.This innovation makes Joomla the first major CMS that includes the Twitter Bootstrap framework that enables it to be 100 percent mobile-friendly by default. Over time, a native mobile optimization option becomes increasingly important for a Web presence as global information technology consulting firm IDC predicts that by 2015 mobile Internet will overtake desktop usage.

"As accessing the Internet via a mobile device is becoming more common than accessing it via a desktop computer, the mobile version of a company's website will soon be more important than the desktop version," said Paul Orwig, president of Open Source Matters, a non-profit created to provide organization, legal and financial support to the Joomla project. "With every version of Joomla, we use feedback from our community of more than a half a million contributors to add new features that will keep those who use our CMS ahead of what trends will impact the way their content is experienced.By optimizing Joomla 3.0 for mobile devices, there is absolutely no doubt as to whether what was designed for the desktop will transfer seamlessly to a phone or tablet."

In this release, the goal was to make Joomla 3.0 completely mobile-friendly while still remaining recognizably Joomla. To accomplish this, Twitter Bootstrap was utilized. Bootstrap is an extensive front-end toolkit for developing websites and applications. Using Bootstrap allows Joomla to create a mobile-ready experience based on a popular framework that many other developers and designers already know and work with on a regular basis.

In total, there are more than 15 new features to Joomla 3.0. Other key features include the ability to copy a template, the option to disable the ability to change the Username in Profile and the installation of language packages directly from the extension manager, which makes it easier to manage other languages.Many of these new features have been introduced incrementally since the launch of Joomla 2.5 in January.

One of the brand new features with Joomla 3.0 is the addition of the PostgreSQL driver. This addition means that the CMS is truly database independent, as it already is integrated with MySQL and SQL Server.

Joomla 3.0 is truly a collaborative community-driven software project developed with the feedback gathered from more than 2.6 million Joomla forum posts, nearly 580,000 Joomla forum members and data from more than 9,900 Joomla extensions.To download Joomla 3.0, go to http://www.joomla.org/download.html.
