Great Interview of Louis Landry (Joomla! movement) by cmscritic's Mike Johnston

Great article and interview of Louis Landry, who has been a key contributor on the Joomla! opensource Web CMS project. Louis is really candid about where things stand with Joomla and some of the issues that the project team members are addressing.

Notwithstanding his comments about a central figurehead, I think that Joomla! could benefit in the same way that other successful projects have with a benign leader that projects vision and direction. Dries Buytaert is singular in my mind as someone who is leading the movement that he started with Drupal, but has been great at deeply involving the contributors at whatever level of commitment they can make. He's also a very easygoing (and brilliant) guy, self-effacing, humble. Rare indeed, so I completely agree that the WRONG kind of leader could wreck any opensource movement.
