A developer at Joomla has claimed that adoption of the content management system will rise when the profile of open source improves and larger players have deemed the software to be a threat to their operations.
Speaking to iTWire, Joomla development coordinator Andrew Eddie said that this trend is starting to emerge in the public sector.
While it is likely to take time, more government organisations will eventually realise the benefits of open source communities and see "that Joomla is a possible vocation and leads to employment opportunities", he stated.
Mr Eddie went on to reveal the features he hoped to see in future versions of Joomla, including "something akin to the iPhone Apps shop".
Joomla 1.5 was first launched in January 2008 and has been downloaded more than eight million times by Joomla hosting users since then.
It is hoped that Joomla 1.6 will be launched later this year.
