This is a pool of ideas for the architecture of Joomla! 4.

Concepts, that do not break compatibility to 3.x, may get implemented to 3.6.

The content consists of a couple of UML diagrams outlining basic concepts, written in PlantUML's diagram scripting language. The sources are found in the src directory. The svg directory contains the rendered diagrams. They should be up to date with the sources, but that can not be guaranteed.

This branch contains what is rendered on the Joomla Architecture site.

The Joomla Architecture website uses Jekyll, a simple yet powerful blog engine that easily allows for creating simple websites like these.

Contributing to the site is simple:

• Fork the website to your own github account.
• Clone your repository onto your computer. Make sure you create a new branch, and not use the master or gh-pages branch.
• Create a new page inside the _posts/ directory. This MUST be in the format of year-month-day-filename.html.
• Add and commit your changes, and push it to your repository.
• Create a pull request and we will try and merge your contribution.

As said, a page must be placed in the _posts/ directory, and in the year-month-day-filename.html format. Otherwise it won't get picked up by the system. Every post should look somewhat like this:

---
layout: default
title: <Title>
category: <Category>
author: <your name>
author_email: <your email address>
---
<h2>Title</h2>

<p>Your text</p>

Your email address is optional. Make sure the category name is one of the existing category names (case matters), otherwise your posting will be added inside a new topic. If you have troubles creating a new page, take a look at one of the existing pages, or ask us for help.
