Joomla! future plans include developing a lighter core, improving the release cycle and timeline, decoupling core extensions, improving multilingual support, and developing new tools like the Joomla Framework and a custom translation tool. The goals are to make Joomla faster, easier to maintain and distribute, and give more power to third party extensions. Key upcoming releases include Joomla 3.4 in July 2014, 3.5 in September 2014, and 3.6-3.10 through 2015 focusing on areas like search engine optimization, the media manager, and a new administrator template.
