The Joomla! Project
The Joomla! Project consists of all of the people who make and support the Joomla! Web Platform and Content Management System.
Our mission is to provide a flexible platform for digital publishing and collaboration.
The core values are:
- Freedom
- Equality
- Trust
- Community
- Collaboration
- Usability
In our vision, we see:
- People publishing and collaborating in their communities and around the world
- Software that is free, secure, and high-quality
- A community that is enjoyable and rewarding to participate in
- People around the world using their preferred languages
- A project that acts autonomously
- A project that is socially responsible
- A project dedicated to maintaining the trust of its users
There are millions of users around the world and thousands of people who contribute to the Joomla! Project. They work in three main groups: the Production Working Group, responsible for everything that goes into software and documentation; the Community Working Group, responsible for creating a nurturing the community; and Open Source Matters, the non profit organization responsible for managing legal, financial and organizational issues.
Joomla! is a free and open source project, which uses the GNU General Public License version 2 or later.
DreamIT are excellent. They came up with a fantastic design and advised us all the way through the project on what would be good on the website and what to avoid.
They were particularly good when it came to online marketing. They helped us triple our website traffic in a couple of weeks, and then with the new e-commerce website we doubled our online sales.
