The document discusses the past, present, and future of the content management system Joomla. It notes that Joomla started as a "black box" but evolved to have a modularized architecture. Today it has over 50 code contributors, 8000 extensions, 500,000 forum users, and 25 million downloads. However, only 0.0001% of users directly contribute code. Going forward, the document advocates treating Joomla as a platform rather than just a CMS, defining a technology vision around HTML5 and CSS3, prioritizing architecture over features, and collaborating rather than competing with other open source projects.
