Well Mambo is ran by a british guy, Robert Castley, hes sound.. Sits at 
the expos on his own with a laptop writting code and fixes for the 
problems that occur.. There is another guy, but hes erm, well, put it 
this way, dont air your views or oppinions because if they are 
derogatory he will flame you.. His name is Phil, thats all I'm saying.. 
The system in itself is fantastic, I love it. I've written a few mods to 
it and re-wrote some of the code to do what I want it to do... The 
template part of it is wicked...

I have a demo site online if you wanna have a look, drop me a mail 
offlist and I'll give you url user/pass to have a look at the admin end.
