Well, look at that. Joomla has been officially recognised as a Digital Public Good. Yes, really. Apparently, the rest of the world has finally caught up with something the Joomla community has known for, oh… about two decades.
In a world overflowing with news, social media, and constant online chatter, it can be hard to focus on what truly matters. Eleanor Roosevelt’s famous quote reminds us where our attention is best spent and why it is especially relevant for open source communities like Joomla.
Do More With Core
Joomla’s built-in access control system is one of its strongest features.
Why do some Joomla posts get shared and ranked, while others disappear online? The secret isn’t better SEO or more plugins. It’s better writing.
(Hint: It’s Not the Person in the Hoodie on the Homepage)
There’s a line I’ve repeated so often I should probably have it printed on a mug:
It happens to everyone. You click a link full of promise, only to land face-first in the dreaded “404 Not Found.” It’s like opening a door and finding a brick wall. For your visitors, it’s a frustrating dead end. For you, the site owner, it’s an opportunity.
Many years ago a large non-profit organisation that I worked at got a new chief exec from the USA. She shocked us all by telling us that she wanted to see us all fail at least once in the next year.
But I’m Glad There’s a “U” in Volunteer
Communities thrive not because of teams, but because of you, the volunteers who make them happen.
One of the great joys of being part of a community organisation is the shared sense of purpose. That warm fuzzy feeling that we’re all pulling in the same direction, building something bigger than ourselves. But there’s a hidden ingredient that makes it all work, one that too often gets overlooked until it’s too late: communication.
