Community Magazine

El espíritu de Joomla! es la comunidad, la cual está viva y bien. Nuestra comunidad es fuerte y apasionada, llena de gente vibrante y talentosa de todo el mundo que colaboran y se ayudan unos a otros todos los días. Utilizamos Joomla! para construir sitios web que ayudan a las empresas, gobiernos y organizaciones. Nuestro trabajo es significativo y hacemos del mundo un lugar mejor. Al mismo tiempo, podemos ser nuestro peor enemigo. Nuestras propias palabras y acciones crean una percepción que impacta el crecimiento de nuestra plataforma de muchas maneras. Con el fin de construir nuestra comunidad y mejorar nuestra plataforma, tenemos que cambiar la conversación sobre Joomla! y comienza con nosotros.

Et Joomla l'emporte le plus souvent en raison de ses fonctionnalités étendues, sa facilité d'utilisation, son extensibilité et sa capacité à offrir une expérience en ligne fiable pour l'utilisateur.

Hello folks! How to make Joomla! CMS tests better with Gherkin and Codeception?
