The document discusses how previous investments in Joomla have paid off through numerous releases that addressed community issues and improved the codebase. It notes that Joomla developers are now listening to community feedback by adopting a more transparent and collaborative development process with longer term roadmaps and support. Future investments are argued to further improve stability, predictability, and growth by continuing this approach and through volunteer contributions to ongoing code sprints and other initiatives.
