First: Thank you all for your input so far! Much appreciated!
My post is not about "complaining" or” whining" but more so about trying to say that even though free, there is a responsibility toward the community.
Having my work after two weeks of building it up ruined by the carelessness of some programmer is not acceptable, gift or free.
I'm no full programmer and my php knowledge is limited. Thus I don't even attempt to start "editing" modules. But I'm learning.
However, I need to deliver results and such failures of incomplete or poorly designed products e.g. modules can be ruinous. Furthermore it also reflect poorly on XOOPS concept and can damage a great idea and concept substantially.
Linux is free to. You accept to loose your business (because Linux is a gift) because a programmer screwed up or was careless or did not test his product thoroughly ?
By the way, regarding "gift": If you'd build a house and receive tools or the lumber as a gift and then, when almost done, your house build with sweat and many hours of labor collapse or burns down because it turns out that one tools was defective or the lumber rotten or full of termites. How would you feel then?*
I like XOOPS very much, I think it's one great idea and I support it fully as I can.
I am interested to help establish and implement a concept for Quality Control (QC), a sort of "clearing house". It will serve the community and the XOOPS idea making it even better. XOOPS can achieve the greatness it deserves, by follwing the footsteps of the concept and ideology of the Linux QC assurance.
I looking forward to your input.
Best regards,
Basi

Aren't you happy that someone took great care that it works, not fails, comes loose or some other part fails or catches fire? Or the surgeon and the medical equipment and tools he uses to (I hope not) operate on you? Or, or, or.
It is that care and QC giving you safety, comfort and peace of mind reaching your destinations and goals.
