So here's the bottom line as I see things...
Xoops 2.0.13 is the stable released, production version.
2.2.x is a development/test environment and not recommended for production ( some people like me jumped on the 2.2.x band wagon and unfortunately will have to await 2.4 before we can rejoin mainstream Xoops-- so be it.)
As for other CMS's they also exhibit a fair amount of confusion and instability. It is the nature of true opensource. Nonetheless, we need to get the word out that XOOPS is alive and well.
I have conducted a number of evaluations of CMS's ... I'd be pleased to provide a write-up on my general findings to anyone who has a place (other than this XOOPS site) to publish. Basically I think XOOPS is uniquely positioned for mid-size, moderately complex CMS sites. It scales down nicely and up reasonably well. Most other CMS's are positioned differently in terms of capability, ease of use, avaliable modules, etc.
But the word needs to get out. We need to stop beating ourselves up and move forward. The past is gone. Let's look to the future and get more folks on board the XOOPS band-wagon.
So much for my two cents....
