+
+## 1. Summary
+
+Currently there is no easy way to execute automated scripts in Joomla! without the proper server technology.
+
+This proposal aims to define a way to enable integrators/administrators to manage cronjobs or cronjob-alike behaviours in the Joomla! backend.
+
+## 2. Why Bother?
+
+Having some kind of automation on web application is really helpful. Joomla! offers a CLI support but no way to execute this files in an automated way.
+
+There are several approaches which put the burden on the developer but make it hard for the integrator/administrator to manage these scripts.
+
+## 3. Scope
+
+### 3.1 Goals
+
+The goals for this proposal are to
+
+- define a full cronjob/tab manager (com_cron) operated from the Joomla! backend
+- define the API to operate with crontab when available on the server
+- define the execution of "poor mans crons" without crontab available
+- define 3rd party execution possibilities from e.g. hosting panels (CLI)
+- define the API for 3rd party developer to integrate their scripts into the manager
+- define the workflow how the crons are executed
+- define a best practise example for a Joomla! Workflow cron (executing transitions)
