Strelin CMS is a new fork of the popular open source content management system, Joomla!. Forked from version 1.5, this new CMS is described as having an advanced ACL that Joomla! currently is lacking. Strelin is an open source project released under the GNU/GPL license and is made available for free to anyone wishing to use it for personal or commercial websites. You can download a free copy now!

Strelin is a fork of the great Joomla! 1.5 content management system. Joomla! 1.5 is so widely used content management system. As Joomla! is moving towards 1.6 with big core changes, Strelin started  for those who want new features but don't want to get into possible extra migration work.

Is Strelin will be a competitor to Joomla ?

Joomla which is the father of this project. Without Joomla! this project would not have existed.

This is a very new project and right now, there’s minimal information available on the site about why they decided to fork Joomla! as opposed to contribute to it directly.

As far as we can tell, there is currently very little to differentiate it from from Joomla! (other than an ACL option which is forthcoming in Joomla 1.6) and the website needs quite a bit of work, but regardless, we wanted our readers to know that it’s out there.
