⢠So if I say something thatâs confusing
because of any language differences, please
talk to me later because we donât want any
misunderstandings⌠:)

60. SWOT Analysis
⢠Joomlaâs Strengths are outstanding. Out of the box
its one of the best CMSâs out there.
⢠Many of Joomlaâs Weaknesses come from its
strengths taken to an extreme
⢠There is significant opportunity for Joomla
⢠There are threats - both internal and external.
More coming at the Joomla World Conference and to
a Community Magazine article in the near future.
69. âPeople are not binary.
Everyone has strengths and
weaknesses, positives and
negatives. Donât judge people
until youâve walked a kilometer
in their shoes.â
Guy Kawasaki - âEnchantmentâ p. 14
76. Opportunity
âJoomla does more than simple content
management and allows small businesses, digital
design agencies, freelancers and other
entrepreneurs to create powerful websites for
their clients. â
David Hurley
Community Development Manager - PLT
