Usually, “project fork” happens when developers take a copy of source code
from one software package and start development on it independently,
creating a distinct piece of software.
Joomla was the resultant of fork of Mambo which was an open source
content managemnt system for creating and managing websites through a
simple web interface, its last release was 2008.
Joomla Developers created a website called OpenSourceMatters.org (OSM)
to distribute information to users, developers, web designers and the
community in general. Project leader Andrew Eddie wrote a letter that was
visible on the announcements section of the public forum at
mamboserver.com.

6. Advantages of Template
Components
Layout
The Designs of the main layout are kept in templates for a Joomla site. This includes
where users place different elements (components, modules, and plug-ins), which are
responsible for different types of content.
Color scheme
Using CSS within the template design, users can change the colors of the
backgrounds, text, links, etc as per their requirement using XML code.
Images and effects
Users can also control the way images appear on the page and even create flash-like
effects such as drop-down menus.
Fonts
The designs for these are within the template's CSS file to create a uniform look and
feel across the entire site, which makes it easy to change the whole look just by
altering one or two files rather than every single page.
