Accessibility and Usability Team (JAT) Official

Inclusion

Joomla translates to All Together, and this feeling of unity is one of our core beliefs. Inclusion is in our heart, and as a community, we do our best to accept and welcome everyone.

Accessibility is a cornerstone of inclusive design, ensuring that products and services are usable by everyone, including those with disabilities. Joomla's philosophy of "All Together" reflects a commitment to this inclusivity, fostering a sense of unity and belonging within the community. By prioritizing accessibility, Joomla not only adheres to ethical design principles but also expands its user base, embracing a diverse spectrum of individuals and their unique needs.

Our mission

Our main goal is to make Joomla (the CMS and the websites of the organisation) compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 standard AA level. Beyond that, we are commited to improve the usability of Joomla following the principles of clarity and simplicity, consistency and feedback.

Conflict Resolution Team Working Group

Our Working Group is a volunteer team of experienced community members dedicated to fostering a respectful, supportive, and healthy collaborative environment within the Joomla community.

Passion and commitment are strengths of our contributors, but they can sometimes lead to disagreements that escalate or become personal. The CRWG serves as a neutral, confidential point of contact to receive, assess, and mediate complaints—such as harassment or violations of the Code of Conduct—in a fair and impartial manner.

We also help contributors navigate conflicts, strengthen communication, and build mutual understanding. Our team offers confidential support to individuals facing personal challenges, stress, or burnout. While we are not mental health professionals, we listen with empathy and provide a safe, judgment-free space where every voice can be heard. Our goal is to maintain peace, safety, and trust so that all community members can contribute productively and feel valued.

Documentation Team (JDocs) Official

The Documentation Team is part of the Production Department. Our team handles creating and maintaining all the official Joomla! documentation. This includes documentation for end-users, administrators, third-party developers and administrator Help Screens. 
 
Our documentation has been in docs.joomla.org for a long time. But we want to move away from that wiki, to get more structured documentation. At the moment new developers documentation is developed at manual.joomla.org (you can do a pull request against the repo of that site to contribute to developers documentation), and new user documentation is developed at docs-core.sandbox.joomla.org (you can contribute there by logging in and submit an article).

Educational Outreach (JEO) Working Group

The mission of the Joomla Educational Outreach Working Group is:

To be a hub of teaching tools and resources for those who want to teach and learn Joomla around the world

To achieve our mission we need volunteers that will help us to Entice. Engage. Educate.

In order to devote our team's efforts to a successful launch of Joomla 4, we have decided to pause the work of the Educational Research Working Group, since the members are active in other teams across the Joomla Project.

Joomla is a volunteer effort, and we need all hands to move the project forward.  If you want to be a part of this working group, or any part of the Joomla Project, please use the contact tab below.
