Hi,

There is XOOPS live CD here. It's titled 'XNOPPIX (Xoops and Knoppix) and works with Japanese, though.

Me too.
I heard the JP team had their will. It is not for a bug reporter or sub-programmer, but a leading core developer to improve the XOOPS.

wfsection and LazyBadger, Thank you for your comments.
I think you guys show us the point of this matter.　Yes, we can report security bugs to the core team. But I heard some developer felt difficulties to reflect the bug fix to the core releases speedy.
It may be difference of way of thinking. There are many different needs toward one XOOPS. I think it is inevitable to have a new fork.

At this time, there are no detailed announcements of the new XOOPS fork at www.xoopscube.jp.
The 4th XOOPS Conference will be held on Saturday 21st of May in Tokyo.
I expect there would be announcements of new XOOPS fork’s features, concepts and roadmap at the conference. A report of the 3rd XOOPS Conference is here. If you would like to join the conference, please send PM to me.
I also expect the new XOOPS fork would come with English language files and English support.
Simply, We just have a new choice. Please take it easy and enjoy xooping!

Hi,
I am sorry to find the gap between www.xoops.org and www.xoopscube.jp. The XOOPS Japanese team think they need to build new developer team because they need to provide secure XOOPS system more speedy and timely.

I see the developer team at www.xoops.org seeks more function-rich CMS rather than simple, secure and flexible CMS which XOOPS Japanese team would think of.

I think it may be good for us that we have a choice between them. Of course, I think it would be better if we would corporate together.
I’d like to report news if I get new information at www.xoopscube.jp .

There is one hacked version it works with php5.0.1.
It includes only system module so you may need download new modules from CVS of xoops2_0_8_beta. Some modules (News and Forum etc) of 2.0.7.3 may work.
