Disclaimer: This isn't yet another debate about if they should have.....etc. nor for 3rd party developer opinions. Lets just make an assumption that the decision has been made and Joomla is sticking with it. This is a whole different topic.
As an end user/webmaster has the announcement made any difference to you? Or will it? Are you moving forward with Joomla? Are you going to start working with something else? I'm just curious what other people are going to do.
For me, I'll say this. I've made my last Joomla website. <edit> Best to just leave it there. There's many reasons but those are just my opinion. I was just curious if the end users feel affected. - Last Edit: 17 years 4 months ago by Mack.

Expanding my horizons here.
Will technically stay with Joomla, but I am currently looking into how much work it will be to make my stuff compatible with the whole Mambo Family. (or variants to suit them)
Joomla isn't likely to die, but it has made me and many others acutely aware of the risks of latching onto one product or tool exclusively. I never intended to have proprietary code so I have no need to leave.
If you are going anywhere Mack, Mambo looks like the destination of choice for the proprietary 3PD's at this stage. The newest version has a lot of neat things that compare nicely with J1.5, and some that are better! -

- I still have not figured out the difference between the mambofoundation mambo and the mamboserver mambo or are they the same?

It all depends to customers needs and wants before the announcement I was strictly Joomla guy I would recommend Joomla and Joomla only now not so much I am open to Mambo and Elxis in fact I use Elxis on two multlingular sites much better than Joomla and no hassle of fish.
On two other sites the base is SMF hence if no license change by end of August I'll switch to Mambo, hence the request for Mambo theme club reason Joomlahacks and Orstio both have pulled the bridges for Joomla.
Two sites I am currently working on are Joomla base but I am waiting hoping for a change in license cause both sites use commercial add-ons I don't want surprises later on if no change in license by end of August 2007 than I'll switch to Elxis with Elxis Directory.
My own site will depend how Joomla 1.5 compares to Mambo 4.7 than will decide. - VirtueShop

I may start shifting my new developments between the three mambo/joomla/elxis also.
I need to look at the others more.
Elxis is still up in the air because it's a joomla fork, so technically the Joomla team might be able to enforce the GPL upon them and elxis compatible extensions. I am not sure of the details but I wouldn't want to get caught with my pants down again. ;D -

oh? In that case things are fine.
I was under the impression that they were a Joomla fork for some reason.
I also hadn't heard about Joomla hacks pulling their bridge also.
-that- will have an impact.
Andy: When are you changing the RT forums over to Fireboard? ;D -

- This is a real problem for me since I use commercial components, mostly sef advance that I could replace by opensef (never well worked for me), mtree that I maybe could replace by gpl code and jreviews. Since I find no solution to replace jreviews i'll must follow it under Mambo later... or code something similar to jreviews but I do not have the time to do that now. The choice is not so easy.
