The Mambo graphics are old and do not properly represent a cutting-edge, modern CMS. You can see the entire range of our graphics on the Mambo Artwork space of our wiki..

Enter the competition now and help create a new, modern, compelling look for Mambo!

The competition will be judged by the community in a poll that will run for two weeks after the close of competition.
Competition closes on 15th November and the winners will be announced on 1st December 2008.

The winning graphics package will receive a year's free hosting from mamboserver.biz. The runner-up will receive a copy of "Learning Mambo - A Step by Step Tutorial" the book written by Douglas Patterson.

Get into it – with in2it!

Sunday, 19 September 2008

The Team from XHTMLSuite.com is proud to announce the release of XHTMLSuite in2it.

XHTMLSuite in2it marks a new era in Online HTML Editing, taking advantage of state of the art technologies and introducing a new user interface that will sets standards for all competing products.

XHTMLSuite in2it contains a lightweight and yet powerful AJAX library for essential new features.

The new AJAX API facilitates a very dynamic application because certain program libraries will be loaded only when they are needed. This makes the editor lightweight and fast loading on start up and thus helps to save system resources.

Most cutting edge functions were implemented into XHTMLSuite in2it – functions that thanks to their intelligent design and intuitive handling will make it easy even for non-technical persons to quickly get into HTML editing.

At the same time XHTMLSuite in2it with its professional user interface and functions will satisfy even the highest demands of expert users.
