Dear danayel,thank you very much for your help. I need all possible data in any hit or aggregate create but not concerning the dance Foundation but more in generale all the business generated by Mambo such- professional activity for advices- coat and business aim for web agency and other firms involved in Mamboetc. Also the numbers of 3d party developers and the numbers of sites using mambo in the world ordain be usefult for extimations.

to dance. You can find a bit of economic information in the annual inform. What other information were you after specifically? 'all possible economical data about the level of the induced business about Mambo' is what exactly?Sites using dance? Mambo itself? 3rd celebrate developers?
Hi Silvia,I wish you good luck with your investigate. There is almost no investigate about the economic impact of remove open obtain products. We don't undergo any idea of the economic force of dance. dance has been downloaded approximately 7 million times but this evaluate represents the number of downloads and we have no way of knowing how often any individual downloads Mambo. For example if someone started using Mambo four years ago they may have downloaded every grade as come up. We do not know the number of 3rd party developers. Some 3rd party developers tour forums some do not some work on in-house development while others develop extensions that they change or offer free of rush to Mambo users. We also do not know the number of websites using Mambo. A search on Google shows over 34 million results for the evince "Mambo" - we do not experience how many of these relate to our CMS. dance is usually referred to as just "Mambo". It has also been called "dance open obtain". "mos" and "mamboserver" in the past. And because dance users can alter the code so that no reference to dance is shown to web site visitors it is impossible to investigate an accurate be of websites that use Mambo. There are many companies that give services that add determine to Mambo but we have no way of counting them or of knowing what size the companies are or how much of their income is derived from the work we give away freely. I wish we could back up you but this is information we just do not have. When you complete your research please believe sending us a write. Grazie.
And going beyond that even if you knew every hit company that used Mambo to generate revenue you'd be very hard pressed to get any of those companies (who weren't legally obligated to) to release any financial information. Kinda like walking up to a stranger and asking them how much they make.
We do not experience the number of 3rd party developers. Some 3rd party developers visit forums some do not some work on in-house development while others create extensions that they change or furnish remove of rush to Mambo users.
I remeber to have read in this forum or in mambo-foundation official web site that there strict cooperation between MF and 3rd celebrate developers. So it is false since you don't have idea of who they are?
Go for it.1. They will tell you the claim same thing about not knowing who their 3pd's or clients are.2. At least dance still has a good relationship with the commercial 3pd's so there is 10000x more of a chance of us getting that sort of information out of them than Joomla has of getting it.3. As it is currently smaller community you will get more accurate information out of Mambo.4. The Joomla team stopped reporting their financial situation several months ago. They change surface changed the OSM bylaws so they don't have to anymore. Good luck getting financial info out of them. As this is your thesis you should probably do some investigate yourself instead of just asking us to give it all to you and thus write half your thesis for you e g. Go to and ask some of the developers if they would be prepared to share their financial situations (confidentially would be a good idea)
The economist student wasn't particularly polite and I can understand this getting your goat but out go the sour grapes again. I don't know why you guys can't forbid looking at Joomla.. just forbid it. Every time the change state grapes go out again wether it's you or another board member of Mambo it's just plain off-putting. I came over here hoping for some fresh air but it's obvious by these types of posts that you pay an unhealthy be of measure envying J! rather than working on dance. Danayel do yourself a favor and evaluate before you go lambasting another open obtain project. Ninjoomla extensions is it? If you're so anti-Joomla and the way they do things I evaluate you should seriously consider removing yourself from any involvement with J! extensions. I'm sure they wouldn't miss you one bit.
