About the Joomla! Community Working Groups
The Community Working Groups idea is to provide the structures and community management necessary to create an online community that is enjoyable and rewarding to participate in, nurture and support online communities of users, provide support and information to users, and facilitate communication between users and the Production Working Groups. The Community Working Group will encourage groups of people to come together and help maintain the online community. Each of these teams will be led by one or more community members who will foster collaboration within the group and communicate on a regular basis with the Community Leadership Team (CLT).
There are over 100 members in the Community Working Group. See a list of current members here. This is a closed group, new members can only join upon invitation of a group leader.
Working groups exist until the job they were set up to do is completed. Some teams, such as the Forum Working Group or Joomla! Extension Directory (JED) Team, will be permanent; others will form and disband in the space of a single release cycle.
These working groups must follow our values of openness, inclusion and collaboration. They must follow the mission, vision and values of the Joomla project. Regular communication among the working group coordinators and the Production Leadership Team (PLT) is expected and it would be great if the teams could blog periodically so that the wider community can be kept in touch with progress.

Joomla Discussion Forums
The Joomla! Forum is a great place to get support for your Joomla-powered website. The Forum Rules contain the guidelines that allows our community to operate effectively and smoothly. As an end user of this support system you can help the moderators by using the 'report to moderator' link next to any post you feel violates the rules.
However, the best way you can assist the moderators, is by getting involved in our community and enhancing the support system we provide to the users of our forums. Your contributions are greatly appreciated, not only by the Core Team, but by the thousands of users we support via our forums.
Here is a list of the Forum's Global Moderators.
