XOOPS 2.3 is the latest stable version that just released just days ago.

XOOPS 2.3 is based on rock stable XOOPS 2.0.x. There is a lot of enhancement and cool stuff in XOOPS 2.3 and it is a bridge for XOOPS 2.2.x (not stable, abandon branch of XOOPS) user to migrate to the future main branch (XOOPS 3.0)

I got a few complaint regarding this issue and I never succeed duplicating the problem. I believe the problem is because they use "windows built-in unzip" instead of winzip or pkunzip or 7-zip or any world-standard unzip. Could you double check, if you can unzip through other software ? I always believe "windows built-in unzip" is inferior and didn't up to standard.

Mine is working. Seehttp://www.alumniqber.org/alumnionline/.
I do some script modification in order to make it work for XOOPS 2.2.x, but forget what, since i do it quite long time ago. PM me your email if u interested to get the script copy.

Really happy to see XOOPS moving ahead again. I almost switch to Drupal due to lack of XOOPS Core development. I'm not expert in XOOPS coding (API, Modules, etc) but i'm experience PHP programmer. I definitely lend a part of my time to help XOOPS development.

Looks like more and more people concern about XOOPS development. This question already asked a few days ago, and Herko give some reply. Please check here : https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=57587&forum=8&post_id=254453#forumpost254453

Herko.. i hope you don't feel insulted. Don't get my message wrong. I really respect all XOOPS developer, especially on their talent and scarification. I'm not blaming any of you, and as developer, i believe i understand your feeling. i believe why XOOPS looks dying slowly not because of active developer/contributor, but it because too many leecher. They want something from XOOPS but they won't contribute anything to XOOPS. Thats my point.

So, I talk here, from the LEECHER perspective (including me). Believe or not, leecher devided in to 2 groups, 1 is really happy to be a leecher forever, and another one want to go out from being leecher but need some help from YOU (active developer) to go out from leecher community.

I believe, currently XOOPS lack of active contributor compared to joomla/drupal. Do you think I happy with this? not at all. I know i can contribute something, since i myself is programmer. However, i only have little time to contribute, and i don't have time to read ALL XOOPS source code and try to understand how to use it.

I want to stress my point, believe it or not, the ROOT of most of XOOPS problem is lack of active contributor. If we want to IMPROVE XOOPS, we need to fix the ROOT problem, not the problem that born from the root.

AND I BELIEVE we can fix this ROOT problem is by having GOOD documentation, including (have some but mostly not complete and outdated):

1) List all XOOPS API and their usage (eg: with examples)
2) Have some tutorial, how to develop modules and using XOOPS API correctly
3) Step by step tutorial how to create template
4) Step by step how to install xoops, install module etc (xoops have it, but not updated)

And all of this ONLY can be done by active contributor (except no 4) that know inside and outside XOOPS code. You SHOULD'T aspect LEECHER like us to do that. We know nothing (or very minimal) about XOOPS.

Thats why i HIGHLY recommend all active contributor to STOP all development (including modules) and CONCENTRATE for a few month to complete the documentation.

I believe, when XOOPS have very good documentation, gradually leecher will upgrade themself become active contributor and the original active contributor can concentrate on CORE development, instead of BUSY with modules.

Agree with you. now, even Drupal can outperform XOOPS in Googgle Trend (user search frequency, reflects to popularity). XOOPS looks dying slowly. I wanna contribute something, but XOOPS seriously lack of documentation. Last time, i already said (SEE HERE), better hold all development and concentrate the documentation, so more people can contribute instead of rely on a few talented people (they may be busy with real life).

p/s: Why XOOPS even not involve Google Summer of Code (SEE HERE)? Thats FREE talented programmer will help XOOPS. There is a lot of other Open Source project involve, including Drupal and Joomla.
