dev.xoops.org is a site for development. There is anonymous access to the various projects and their forums, but to access the internal dev-2-dev forums etc. you need to sign up a project you want to work on - or join an existing project.
A little something-for-something arrangement
I'll post a little message asking people to be more open as to how the development is coming along in order to make the site usable to also the curious bystanders
