Joomla goes enterprise 2.0

Joomla, an open source content management system (CMS), is releasing version 1.6 of the software with more features aimed at enterprise collaboration, reports Information Week.

Ryan Ozimek, president of Open Source Matters, a non-profit organisation providing financial support to the project, says: "The underlying framework of the CMS is changing, making it much more useful for corporate collaboration.”

Version 1.6 changes from a fixed, two-level hierarchy for content to a user-defined hierarchy, according to the company. In addition, the new version adds flexibility and improved security permissions.

The improved version of Adobe's suite enables technical writers, help authors and instructional designers to author, enrich, manage, and seamlessly publish content to multiple channels and devices.
