Where did you search? Skalpa, phppp, pemen, rowd are working on the core -when they have the time.

But i check permissions and i see most team members banned.
Most team members banned, right. You might be confused by the active poster and member whose alias is 'banned', but isn't really banned from posting at all...
And like vaughan said, if people are banned, they deserved it.

You say it is stable but the true it is not secure.
You mean you are
withholding information about known security risks from the community? Is that transparency and an open community and development oriented attitude? If you have information about security vulnerabilities, let the core developers know. You can e-mail them, PM them, or even send an e-mail to
security@xoops.org.
If you don't there is no proof that the XOOPS core is insecure.
And I haven't even touched the subject of secure vs. stable. You're mixing up things just for the fun of it.

And because there is not new code, developers and users can not contribute, work on improvements, test or report bugs.
True. Many eyeballs make all bugs shallow, as Eric Raymond's famous quote goes. But has it occurred to you at all that there aren't many bug reports because the XOOPS core is stable and secure? Often the simple answers are the best.

Sorry, i did not know the project team expects to be paid or other incentives. Usual open source it is not a paid-job?
Where on earth did you get those two ideas?
1. If they don't get paid, it means that other things (like working for a living) take priority over the XOOPS development. Demanding 'the XOOPS project team' do more work will not change those priorities.
2. Please browse to the website
http://www.gnu.org. I bet you know this one already, but here's the central idea to their philosophy:
What is Free Software?

http://www.gnu.org:
“Free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech”, not as in “free beer”.
If professionals work on an open source project, shouldn't they get paid? What about businesses who provide value added services based on open source products? Are they wrong? No, they're not. There's no reason whatsoever that open source cannot be paid jobs.
That doesn't mean the community should pay those members of the community who provide free-of-charge services. But paying professionals for a job isn't ruled out at all!

The project is sick, i can understand you do not have a developer to code a new core. I can only help users on java scripts for free. But i can not help you to find core developers. Maybe you can pay with adds revenues? I have no solution to your problem. Sorry.
Sick? I see no sickness other then false and silly notions. I didn't ask you to find new core developers, so don't be sorry that you're not the solution to a self-invented problem.
If you want to help, do so. If not, then don't. It's about that freedom. You can choose all by yourself

If you want and are up to it, you can show the XOOPS community what you're worth with Javascript. This is not a challenge, but the way open source development works. Show your pers what you're worth, and get credited accordingly.
So far, we haven't seen much that's worth a lot...
