Personally I think REQUIRING composer to install xoops is a bad decision. It works (sort of) while under development but it will be a cause for much grief moving forward. A package that a user installs must be seamless and include everything.

I could be wrong but until composer is a default inclusion in PHP I think it is a very bad decision to force people to install composer in order to use xoops. I don't think it is a bad idea to include the code with the installation so someone could update the included packages if they want but 90% of the users that are going to want to install xoops will not want to fuss with having to have to install something else first and it will be a very big and continuous support issue.

I tried RW banner back in the days. It was decent, but imo it's not the case the it's usable if you really make money with advertisements. One thing the is crucial with an ad system is that it makes generating reports piece of cake, since companies that advertise on your website, want to know how the banners, for which they paid a lot of money, perform. Doing reports with RW Banner is really hard.

About 80 percent of my companies income is based on banner revenue, which puts me into the position, that I need powerful ad management system. I believe I checked most of the banner modules as well as Xoops' own banner management system and none of them was offering what I needed.

After some research I found OpenX, which is a powerful tool for admanagement. So far I have about 20 different companies advertising on my site and the site creates roughly 2 Million page impressions, and OpenX can handle it easily. I also create xls-reports, which can automatically be sent to customers and lots of other features you'll love, when you have to make money with banner advertising.
