JHarris, jensclass, davidl2, could you help me put these points in a clear message? I tried to do this in the news announcement about 2.0.13.2 beong labelled 'recommended', but it is meant to stop confusion, not add more. Any help on making this as clear as possible is greatly appreciated.
Jenny gets out her english teacher red pen....Herko - I think you forgot one really imortant thing in this post abd that was to 'introduce' the topic. You started with

This has been going round in the forums for quite a while now, but it's time to put an end to the countless questions and uncertainties.
What is 'this' that has been 'going around' in the forums??? You are making assumptions the reader knows what this is that you are talking about!
Is 'this'
Confusion about versions of xoops?
confusion about forks of XOOPS versions?
confusion about which version of XOOPS to use?
Your heading also places the spotlight on 2.0.13

XOOPS 2.0.13.2 labelled 'recommended'
rather than on 'Which one is ok? 2.0.x or 2.2.x?
So if your article had started with somethng like:
Quote:
Xoops versions grow from input of the core development team as we listen to requests, ideas, and learn more about....Currently there are 2 versions of XOOPS in use. The first is the 2.0 versions, the second is the 2.2.x version. Both are valid and working systems but there is an important difference between them. New users, or users less familiar with coding etc should use the 2.0.13 version. Those a little more game have been playing with the 2.2 versions.
Now comes the rest of your article which explores the difference between the two more thoroughly.
Finish with a word of advice: Use 2.0 and when looking for help always look for posts specficially related to that version. Use 2.2 and the same applies - look for help specifically related to that version.
Hope this helps you edit the post a bit Herko...and next time put what you want to say in context without assuming we have all read 'this' in the forums.
Cheers!
