A More Transparent Future for Joomla Development
"This new feature request workflow represents a significant step toward a more organized, collaborative, and sustainable development process.
By giving contributors a clearer path to propose and refine ideas,
and by giving maintainers a structured way to evaluate them
the Joomla! Project strengthens its commitment to open‑source excellence."
Invitation
As this workflow is still in its trial phase, community feedback is essential.
