I know wordpress joomla and drupal. But I still stay with xoops. Theres no need to say why, but I see we shall talk what is missing.
1. Do you remember module packs? Starter, community, personal, intranet etc. We have to had these! (We had module packages build in may 2008 ...)
2. Mjoel - you said about example block and article. For example article module (by phppp) has example categories, articles etc. It's a really pretty nice module (but it's not so ligh). So what we need? Not only modules packs itselves - but like it is in joomla, drupal and WP - a quickstart!
Imagine - that you install a full portal with some example content, blocks and other functionality. Just install and here it is - your first full site. We need that.
3. Take part not only in these frameworks / CMS - take a look into XoopsCube. Kaotic - do it! I like drupal and WP dashbord (administration) but much more I like XOOPS Cube admin side! The most I like help system and preloads (last started in XOOPS 2.3 and 2.4 here on xoops.org)
4. Docs! Yes - developers need them!
5. YAXS - we shall (like in drupal) writo more about our work! Not only modules, but if we do some hacks or tricks, try to share with other!
There are more fuctions and extensions (in system) but first what we need to do it's quickstart.
PS IMHO XOOPS Cube has today better architecture and extends more XOOPS core and system functionality - but we shall see what XOOPS 3.0 comes. I trully believe that will be a real revolution for us!
PS PS If you look closer to these system you will see systematic work to share extensions, modules and hacks. There a plenty sites where you can find them. If you look on XOOPS and XOOPS Cube sites (especialy on xoopscube.org) you find there maybe 40% of them (extended codes and hacks). But where they are? Mostly on local support sites!
