The screenshot is showing the cron-driven feature called "Available Updates" that tracks the state of Drupal core and 3rd-party modules (extensions) needed to migrate one's site from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7. Wordpress does same thing in a slightly different manner. Makes one's life easier when trying to decide when to make the migration leap between major releases!
Might be a bit more difficult to implement in Joomla as extensions are not as tightly coupled and under standard version control by central authority such as joomla.org.

Dude. That's in 1.6. We'll be using that with the Molajo Extensions. That's a huge advancement that the core offers, I agree - much needed.

Really...I missed that. My bad, will have to check it out.
I'm not talking about the standard Drupal update stuff that has been around since forever. What I'm talking about is a module (extension)for Drupal 6 called Upgrade Status that checks to see if all of your installed modules are available for the next major version of Drupal ( in this case Drupal 7).
For example, in Joomla this would be an extension installed in a 1.5 site that periodically checked installed 1.5 versions for availability of upgrades to 1.6 stuff.

Yes, you are right, sorry, we have not even done the first step.
Molajo will use the Update Servers to do what WP and Drupal have done for years - notify folks of changes.
I think Joomla.org is positioning for the same but there has been no word on it. The administrator/manifests/files/joomla.xml seems to suggest it's coming. Which makes it that much more important for Matt Lipscomb to respond to good questions posed in his "Call for input" on the TOS draft he posted last month.
We are still learning to crawl in the context of what you are hoping for (which seems unimaginable right now!).
