<p>In our vision, we see:</p>
<ul>
<li>People publishing and collaborating in their communities and around the world</li>
<li>Software that is free, secure, and high-quality</li>
<li>A community that is enjoyable and rewarding to participate in</li>

</ul>
<p>There are millions of users around the world and thousands of people who contribute to the Joomla Project. They work in three main groups: the Production Working Group, responsible for everything that goes into software and documentation; the Community Working Group, responsible for creating a nurturing the community; and Open Source Matters, the non profit organization responsible for managing legal, financial and organizational issues.</p>
