Joomla trials a redesigned feature-request workflow
The Joomla project is trialling a redesigned workflow for feature requests, with the aim of making decisions more transparent and predictable for maintainers and the wider community.
This is a change to how Joomla development requests are handled, not a software release. The announcement does not identify a new Joomla version, a required administrator action or a change to a specific component, so site owners should not expect an update to install as a result of this news.
For developers and contributors, the new approach is intended to make feature requests easier to manage throughout the project. A more defined process could make it clearer how requests are handled and help maintainers plan their work with greater predictability. The project also presents the redesign as a way to improve visibility for the broader Joomla community.
The workflow is currently being tested rather than presented as a finished, permanent system. Community feedback will be used to refine the approach, making participation during the trial relevant to anyone who submits, reviews or follows proposed Joomla features. The announcement does not yet set out the individual stages of the workflow or explain how requests will be assessed, so those details should be confirmed through the project’s ongoing updates.
