Today is Joomla!'s 5th birthday.
On September 1st, 2005 the joomla.org sites were launched. Until that day, the Joomla! name was completely unknown to the world. This is a screenshot of Google's results before the launch:
Joomla 5 Years Later
Joomla is now one of the most popular software projects in the world.
Approximately 2.5% of the web runs on Joomla. It is used by organizations as large as Apple, McDonald’s and the United Nations and by millions of people for their companies, hobbies and charities.
How did we get here from such humble beginnings? You.
Joomla is 100% community-owned and operated.
Joomla has no Venture Capital firms behind it. Joomla has no parent company, no shareholders and no investors behind it. Joomla has no C.E.O., no dictator and no owner. It has you.

15 Minute Guide to Access Levels in ACL
If you’ve heard anything about Joomla 1.6, chances are you’ve heard about two exciting new features more than others: nested categories, and something called ACL.
ACL stands for access control levels. It refers to who has permission to do what on the website, including read, create, edit, delete, or log in, among other permissions.
Many think of ACL as relating to the front end of a website only. For example, when I log into the website, what articles do I have available to me? And if someone else logs into the site, do they see the same articles, or do they see different ones?
However, ACL also relates to who has rights to create, edit, and delete content; who can publish and unpublish content; who can log into the front end or back end of the website; and who can make changes to which components and modules.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should! ACL is complex, and it takes some time to understand exactly how it works.
