oh yeah the upgrade train. The problem with that is often new versions dont work with countless decent modules.

not too mention the effort of customization.

2.13.2 I believe is the last we have. So our team should look into it.

There are far too many modules that are similar to each other that aren't necessarily better than each other. Its a pity we dont focus more on the core modules.

I can't tell you after 3 years how many news/article/wf section clones there are for instance! Now I don't think it's a bad thing,of course not, but you(as in a webmaster) just have to decide at one point which to use, so you can focus on the sites development, especially if it's a community..not always worrying about patches and upgrades but really using what you got to the max. IMO: it's better for us to focus on soapbox if we can.

We'll look into it though, there is lots to consider.

Thanks, appreciate your input.
--Our teeam REALLY needs to catch up more with the latest developments.

Yeah but you know, still nothing quite like soapbox from what ive seen.

will see what we can do with the latest rc version I guess.
Thanks
