Not sure if this is the correct forum, but I was testing at my host account and playing with the fantastico auto install for many CMS programs. Off all of them, XOOPS was the only one that only installed its CORE file.

Now for experienced users, thats no big deal, just add your needed modules and your good to go.

BUT, someone using fantastico in the first place...problaby doesn't have the best experience with uploading and properly expanding compressed files and what not.

I believe for XOOPS to compete it MUST COME WITH SOME BASIC MODULES PACKAGED WITH IT.

Then the user can decide if he want's to use them or not. But atleast he will see quickly the wonderful abilities of XOOPS and not just be looking at a website scratching his head!!!!!!!

For fantastico to even be a relevant installation source. XOOPS has got to get its versioning correct.

However, I do agree that stripping the core of all the modules was a huge mistake.
