Joomla has always evolved through its community. But sustainable progress requires more than good ideas — it requires clear direction and visible priorities.

Over the past months, we have worked to provide exactly that. The strategy sprint created alignment. The product strategy defined our framework. Today, we are moving into execution by making the official feature list public.

From direction to action

The feature list translates strategy into concrete initiatives for the Joomla core. Each item has been reviewed and approved by the Production Department as aligned with our priorities and feasible within the project’s capacity.

Some initiatives are already underway. Others are waiting for contributors to step forward. Together, they define where we are focusing our energy and where help is needed most.

This is not a fixed roadmap. It is a living, evolving pipeline. Priorities may shift, new ideas will emerge, and completed work will move forward. What matters is clarity about direction and openness to participation.

Step in and contribute

Open source succeeds when people take ownership. We are actively looking for contributors across roles — developers, testers, designers, documentation writers, coordinators, and users who can provide real-world feedback.

• If a feature interests you, get involved.
• If you want to lead an initiative, step up.
• If you have an idea that is not yet represented, bring it forward.

What this means for Joomla

Publishing the feature list marks a shift toward more transparent, structured, and goal-driven development. It provides visibility for the community and accountability for the project. At the same time, it acknowledges the realities of open source: timelines depend on contributors, capacity, and complexity.

This is not the end of planning. It is the beginning of coordinated execution.

Your moment to shape the future

Joomla has always been built by people who decided to get involved. The feature list makes the path visible. What happens next depends on participation.

Review the initiatives. Choose where you can contribute. Bring your expertise, your ideas, or your time.

If you have been waiting for the right moment to help shape Joomla’s future, this is it!
