What's your thoughts on it? Ever try it with a forum? Would it be a good 'side dish' for an SE/directory list or blog directory?

go with joomla.org it's the same script but continuing as open source instead of the direction mambo is going. I'm new to the script, but I like what I see so far and am in the process of converting a few of my sites over to it.

I'm a fan of Mambo, and I recommend it for any of the uses you mention.

This "change of direction" is worth observing for anyone interested in the Open Source movement. Mambo is preparing to take an important step. This will answer the question "Is it possible to have the best of the both worlds, by having a 'young' technology begin its life as Open Code, so that you get as many 'hands' into it as possible, evolve the product (etc, and all the other reasons OSI is good), and then -- when a level of market maturity has been reached, to 'privatize', as it were" --

I've just started working with it on a newer mainstream site, and love it so far. I'm used to the Xoops and PHPNuke environment, but found Mambo to be very easy to use.

Sweet! Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'm looking to experimenting having a mambo-powered site to be a content 'dump' for blog/journal/pers link/articles traffic.
