I installed publisher-1.08-Alpha-5. And I want to share my opinion.
This module is very necessary. I would like to implement this.

I really liked the new TinyMCE 5 editor. It became convenient to work with images. It's just great!

But modular units still have poor functionality.

Used for testing Xoops 2.5.11-RC2. The error message is displayed in the default theme on the module pages.
Not all blocks are working yet.

I would like to have a view similar to the view in the news_block_top module. To have more options for information output.

To have more options for information output. For example, the Spotlight function. When this option is selected, the image and description of the news are displayed only for the last 1 news in a separate block.

It seems that I am here alone, at this "Celebration of Life".

I think the Publisher module is Xoops itself. Errors in the blocks are fixed simply, but the important thing is that there is a section in the publisher where we can add additional fields.

I didn't forget it, still on my ToDo list, and I'll back working on it after we release 2.5.11 Final, and I update modules to work with Smarty 3. Once this is done, I'll work on new & additional features.
Right now my focus is on migrating modules to PHP 8 and Smarty 3 and 4, and on testing with 2.5.11
