For the last three months that i have frequently visited this site, i have read a lot of fights on the forums. And yes i mean fights.
I almost left XOOPS because of this but alas XOOPS cms is actually very user friendly and also the fact that the community is very helpful when it comes to solving problems that are faced by the users of this cms.
So please settle your differences, its a genuine request.
As for impresscms, i do not think another fork of XOOPS is good for XOOPS but then it can turn out to be a good news for the users.
The only problem i see with impresscms is that xoopsfoundation directors are involved in the product. Literaly from law point of view, yes a director or board-member etc have a legal responsibility to not be involved with a competing project, so even though these are open source projects and they can continue to support any one or two or any number of cms but only as long as they do not hold any position in the xoopsfoundation. The actions of the xoopsfoundation board-members involved with impresscms goes against the statutes of the foundation.
So yes in your personal capacities you can support all the cms you want to but please resign from your posts first. Again to clarify XOOPS the prject is as much yours as is anyone else's but the problem is with you guys holding the posts you do and supporting a competing project.
Also its hard to digest that this inspite of being such an important event, there is no statement from the XOOPS project head phppp(DJ).
