   resources like the Joomla job board, MigrateMe, and workshops. They aim to

   address issues related to templates, extensions, and hosting requirements.

   3 users migrate. Additionally, the team discusses the importance of gathering

   and make suggestions. Tom agreed and planned to schedule a review session

   after his kids go to bed.

   confirmed that essential team members are already included, except for

   Alexander.

 * Discussion on team formation where Maria expressed willingness to team up

   with anyone, and Tom assigned team members who still needed partners.

   one is built. The goal is to enhance pages with outdated or poor content to

   ensure a better user experience.

   updated to identify potentially outdated content. Tom mentioned prioritizing

   high-traffic pages like the home page, about Joomla, and core features for

   updates.

   industry players, and explore opportunities in digital marketing events.
