Simple-XOOPS to join forces with XOOPS

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:10:00 -0000

We are pleased to announce that Dirk Herrmann (dhsoft), the author of Simple-XOOPS and Administrator of XOOPS Germany, will be joining the XOOPS Core Team to become the Lead Maintainer for XOOPS 2.3, and then the Lead Developer for XOOPS 2.4.

Dirk is one of the most innovative developers in the XOOPS world and has received recently the "XOOPS Innovator" Award for his work on Simple-XOOPS. The XOOPS 2.4 will be based to a big extend on his Simple-XOOPS work.

This will result in some very exciting extensions to XOOPS, incl.:

* Multi-Site Hack (multiple domain / subdomain with one installation)
* Multi-Language Hack (multiple languages with one installation)
* URL rewriting hack, SEO optimization
* An integrated updater for the core and modules
* An installer for automatic installation of modules
* Automatic check for Version Update of core and modules

In November Dirk became the main Administrator of XOOPS Germany, being responsible for support and overall management of the XOOPS German activities.

He is very well respected in the German community, and we are very excited about having Dirk on board, especially with all the the wealth of experience he is bringing to the project. You can read interview with Dirk here.

As a result of Dirk joining the Core Development Team, the current development plan for XOOPS 2.3.x is as follow:

XOOPS 2.3.2* are the security bugfix releases
XOOPS 2.3.3 is the bugfix release
XOOPS 2.3.4+ will be maintenance of 2.3 series

XOOPS 2.4 will be the merger of XOOPS 2.3 and Simple-XOOPS

At the same time, DJ (phppp), while working with Dirk on 2.3/2.4, will be focusing on XOOPS 3.0 development, which is planned to be released in the first half of 2009. Yes, XOOPS 3.0 is coming!

Stay tuned...

As you can see, the upcoming months will be very exciting for the XOOPS community, with a lot of work ahead of us. Therefore we would like to ask everybody to join the Team XOOPS and help us out in making this vision a reality! We need developers, but we also need people who can write documentation, run tests, translate XOOPS in other languages, provide support on the forums. So, please join our efforts!

Remember, XOOPS is Powered by YOU!

In the meantime, Happy XOOPSing!

WOX (World of XOOPS) Newsletter # 15 (December 2008)

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 06:00:00 -0000

WOX - World Of Xoops

W.O.X. - WORLD OF XOOPS #15 (December 2008)

Welcome to the last issue of WOX (World of XOOPS) Newsletter in 2008 (see here previous versions)

2008 was (and definitely still is - as we have 30 more days to go ), a very exciting year for many of us, and will have a deeper analysis next month- but in the meantime please email us your impressions from 2008, and maybe we'll include them in the next WOX in January

November was very exciting for XOOPS - in the first seven weeks this new release 2.3.1 has been already downloaded more than 17,000 times, confirming the strong position of XOOPS in the CMS market, and the loyalty of our community. And we all very much appreciate it!

Security of XOOPS is always our #1 priority, and we'll always look after our users!!! So when we've been made aware of couple of vulnerabilities, we've immediately addressed them in XOOPS 2.3.2a - Security Release. In November our talented designers created again several nice new themes, - we had a lot new ones. As always, we salute all of XOOPS developers who develop new modules and themes and share them with the XOOPS Community!!! Work continues on Translating XOOPS 2.3.x into as many languages as possible. As you can see from the list there, we still need help, so please volunteer! Other highlights of the month:

XOOPS Innovation Award - for people who create something very unique and innovative for XOOPS. This time the award goes to Dirk Herrmann (dhsoft) for his work on of Simple-XOOPS!!
XOOPSer of the Month Award: is given to XOOPS members who show extraordinary dedication to XOOPS, and go the extra mile for XOOPS. This month we would like to recognize: Julio NapurÃ Carlos (JulioNC), the Webmaster of XOOPS Spanish Community Website. It's the Webmasters of XOOPS local support sites who make the difference for all the people who don't speak English, and is sometimes their only entry to the wonderful world of XOOPS.
XOOPS Projects creates "XOOPS Foundation" in the USA - we need a legal entity to protect interests of XOOPS. Since it's non-profit, please donate to support XOOPS
"Spread XOOPS Project" Initiative Restarted! - it's time to stop being shy about XOOPS so it is no more the "Best Kept Secret"

Summary

Garantforeningen

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 01:54:35 -0000

For the first time in history, Danish banks have gone insolvent, leaving thousands of customers which have lost their life savings due to poor counsulting and paperless deals, etc.

This site was made last week as a result of the Danish bank, Sparekassen Mors, going insolvent and everybody (1700) with "Garantbeviser", which was told that this was a risk free deposit turned out not to be so risk free and the total loss this 'union', Garantforeningen, is fighting to get back is about 11 million US dollars (conv. from Danish kr.)

In time we expect that the number of members will include almost all customers with these, mostly paperless and in many cases probably not legal deals, which we expect will lose their money the same way if the financial crisis escalades. As of now all banks have locked these accounts which is the actual basis for the banks existence so people can't touch their own money and have to wait for the bank to make it or not. But if everybody cashed in, the bank would fall for sure... what a situation!

Already it's been a few times in the media, both on TV and in several newspapers and we expect it, sadly enough, to figure there a lot more in the next weeks and months...

The site use many excellent modules and two themes for the moment, but i plan to add more as i love this function!

Please visit the site: Garantforeningen.dk any feedback much appreciated!
