The document discusses how the Joomla community can improve the software by looking beyond just Joomla for inspiration and solutions. It provides examples of features from other projects like Rails, Drupal and WordPress that could help address needs in areas like database schema changes, configuration management, scheduled tasks, and media handling. It encourages community members to consider the interests of all roles like programmers, designers, and end users when discussing new features. Attending meetings and discussions on non-Joomla topics could provide an outside perspective to help advance Joomla in a user-friendly way.

What Lies Beyond J Joe LeBlanc
Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:4
What lies beyond J
People have learned skills from each other by talking back and forth and building relationships. This is Joomlas True Merit.
Joomla is about more than code.

Programmers Designers Implementers End Users
The Intersection "Strapped" Admin Template Programmers Designers Implementers End Users
The Intersection Database Driver for Microsoft SQL Server Programmers Implementers
The Intersection LESS-driven template color chooser Designers Implementers End Users
The Intersection New template based off a CSS framework Designers Implementers
The Intersection Joomla-driven Git Client Programmers Designers Implementers
The features that serve the needs of more roles bring us closer to the software we want.
We are making progress! Releases are coming on schedule Features are being added Upgrades are clicks away A fantastic admin UI is coming
We are missing features Database schema change management Live/dev configuration Scheduled tasks Advanced media management
Many web problems have already been solved. We can learn from other projects when we look beyond our community.
Solutions found Beyond J Database Schema Changes: Rails. Code-driven, database agnostic approach. Fault tolerant, simple Use for core and for extensions. Programmers Implementers
Solutions found Beyond J Live/Dev configurations: Frameworks. We need a consistent way of doing this. Possible solution: different files & environment variables Programmers Designers Implementers
Solutions found Beyond J Scheduled tasks: Drupal. Centralized recurring task management "Faux cron" has got to go Programmers Implementers End Users
Solutions found Beyond J Advanced Media Management: WordPress. Resize images to preset dimensions. Make image search and upload easier Programmers Designers Implementers End Users
How can we go beyond Joomla this weekend?
How can we go Beyond Joomla now? Working Group Meetings Bring your knowledge from Beyond J Speak up! Influence the high-level strategy
How can we go Beyond Joomla now? Attend non-Joomla topics How would someone outside of Joomla approach this? Does the Joomla way make sense? How can we make Joomla's implementation the preferred approach?
How can we go Beyond Joomla now? Joomla-specific topics Ask yourself: "If I were new to Joomla, where would I get stuck?" Is there a way we can extend this feature to serve more people? Learn from the presenters and ask questions
Conclusion Our software best benefits programmers, designers, implementers, and end users simultaneously. Look beyond Joomla for inspiration and solutions. Keep looking to the interests of others.
Let's go Beyond J!
