How People See Joomla

Sometimes a simple diagram says it better than a thousand words:

Many people see Joomla as the core product, with various extensions surrounding it as 'small' addons. In reality, more and more sites rely primarily on the extensions, and use Joomla simply as the glue that holds them together.

Update: This picture triggered a little game on Twitter. People are making their own versions of ‘How people see Joomla’. Wanna play? Send your picture to @mathiasverraes or post in the comments.

The creations so far:

    Wow, that is great! I think you hit the nail on the head. Most people thing of Joomla as the primary piece, but the 1,000s of extensions really are what make the sites sing!

    Thats a very interesting view and also quite true. A bit like what Firefox is for some. The second graph only shows how far Joomla has come as a platform to build off.
