"John Newton, CTO at Alfresco says the two open source projects are working together because of requests from and requirements by common customers and common user bases. It turned into a very interesting exercise cross open-source community building, while also showing that CMIS could work in real-world applications.
""It was a real opportunity to demonstrate two open source projects working together," Newton says, providing a way for the two to take advantage of the strengths of each platform, and using CMIS to blend the two systems together. "The Joomla! guys have a built a way of accessing Alfresco to be able to search and browse from Alfresco using CMIS," Newton said."
