I'm very new to Xoops--just 3 days. I've I've installed version 2.0.16 and have everything running. But I have some questions about modules and templates.

In chapter 4 of the Visual Introduction documentation it says that XOOPS currently shuips with a number of modules developed and maintained by the SOOPS Module Development team. Then then it lists the present official modules: News, NewBB, Polls, Web Links, Downloads, etc.

But when I log into my XOOPS site as administrator, the only module I have is the System module. The documentation seems to indicate that I should see these other modules listed that I can install. But I don't see them? Also, when I go to the default template set, the only Template that shows is the System Template?

Have I done something wrong? Where do I get the other "official" modules? Do I now have to download them separately? I did see in the release notes of 2.0.16 this statement: "Modules
The packages do not contain any module apart from the system one. You are invited to browse the XOOPS modules repository to get some."

I guess right now I'm a little confused between what I read in the documentation and what I'm finding in my installation and I don't want to jump forward and mess something up.

Any guidance/direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
