Now that we have this core platform,
We want people to build more useful plugins.
We will work on both fronts:
- make the core platform more powerful
- build as many new features as possible as plugins
Piwik already performs well for high traffic websites
but we also want to make Piwik work well for the most visited websites in the world.
