And don't expect any support when you write bug reports.
As the author of the module and other modules you also complained, I expect your respect for my past in-time contribution and helpful help.
I am sorry, but I will write down my point of view whenever somebody asks for certain modules.
Your modules are brilliant, but my bugreports are not the only ones you simply don't answer.
I think this is an important point when it comes to the question "do I install this or that module" and support should be taken into consideration.
Whatever the reason is: It's a fact, you don't answer bug reports. Sorry to say that.
I have used all the blog modules and by far and away XPress is the best, most fully functional for a site that wants each member to be able to blog. True, there are some very minor bugs or features in regular Wordpress that do not work on XPress for XOOPS but these are very minor issues. I haven't tried the blog by email thing so I can't say, but be sure that I will. There are plenty of plugins that can avert most spam issues.
Anyway, I have followed phppp's work over the last year and use most of his modules with great success. It really bothers me to see him singled out here for "not answering bug reports." For one thing, phppp has been very active over the last year, has released numerous updates and bug fixes for all his modules, and has basically been singlehandedly keeping XOOPS module development alive over the last year, in my view (my apologies to the other module developers out there that have been also continuing work on their modules but I am unaware of).
The point is that in my view, everyone should be thanking phppp for his consistent efforts. If he's missed some bug reports in the past or recently, well that's just the way it goes in open-source land. . people do this on their own free time and of their own volition and sometimes they don't have as much time as at other times.
As far as the "concern" by the original poster about where XOOPS is going and the level of activity generally by programmers. . well, that is definitely something to consider when deciding to use XOOPS at this time and it is something that all of us who use XOOPS now are equally concerned with. But phppp is the man, and has been one of the few shining lights around here, and comments like metropolis' just serve to drive good, high-integrity programmers, like phppp, away.
