2. What is K2?
K2 is a content construction component, which
lets you create custom content types (items) for
your Joomla! Website.
It's like core Joomla! articles thrown into the
mixer with Drupal's CCK and Wordpress
blogging features.

6. Why K2?
1. Joomla! has been far behind other competing
CMSs like Drupal and WordPress in terms of
social features and flexibility (categorization,
ACL, expansion etc.)
2. Joomla! 1.0 and 1.5 are practically the same in
features for the end-user
3. Slow development cycle for Joomla! - which
further strengthens point 1.
