Hello All
After testing Drupal 6 today for a new customer site ( didn't tested drupal for a long time) - my only wish for the new XOOPS version is that the devs will take a look at the new drupal installer and Ajaxing system.
When you install drupal, you feel like you bought a Mercedes, you continue feeling that also in the first few hours of playing with it ....
and there is so much to learn from it - I simply don't know where to begin with ( install it and see for yourself .... it's close to perfection).
THEN ... after the first hour of playing with it - you ( I at least) begins to feel .... yes, "perfection", but what about "usefullness" .... and then you realise that you miss XOOPS - it's way of managing your community sites and portals is much friendlier (much easyer for sites managers and owners).
I just want to say - XOOPS is the best I ever used when concerning to big "portal-like" and "community-based" CMS (or frameworks) ... but it hasn't moved for ages and things mov faster today - XOOPS is "still" the best - but might not be like that in the near future .... It's bast on a great core and a GREAT "management gui and structure" that looks like XXit and is not user friendly nor eye-catching
IT FEELS LIKE DRIVING THOSE 60'S CARS - STRONG , ALWAQYS BRINGS YOU TO YOUR DESTINY, BUT BELONGS TO THE PAST !!! .. the heater is not good enough, no cd, no gps
take a look @ other CMS - learn, come back to XOOPS and do it better, but keep it good and simple like XOOPS is today,
try to install Drupal not in English, but in other lang - especially RTL lang - you'll be amazed by the great support and , well - simply play with it ..... I hate installers but Drupal made it feels like a nice expirience,
