Drupal is a bit of a hybrid. Core changes come from Drupal.org, which is
often based on improvements done by Aquia (the company run by the Drupal
creator).
However, Drupal only allows vetted modules, which has good and bad elements.
Back to Joomla.
Most people who use Joomla are not coders.
We need more people to get involved.
That is one main reason for the second day of Joomla Day weekend.
I have not started on 1.6 or 1.7 because I do not yet have all the
extensions I need.
Perhaps at the Joomla Day Weekend we can start to build a plan to
advance Joomla.
I am gain, who else wants to meet?
