Re: RC3 delayJust an idea ...
Why dont you give the latest development version of XOOPS out to the support sites? Just for testing purposal. So your amount of Beta Testers will increase. This may hurry up the testing time and you can also get various bug reports from several platforms before the first official release is out. Please think about it.
May the force be with you ..
Re: RC3 delayThanks for keeping us updated. I know one of the frustrations of even announcing that updates are coming is to have to later tell people things have been delayed.
If users want reports on development status, we all need to take the good news with the bad.
I know it won't be released until it is ready... and when it is ready, I suspect it will be solid, because the devs take their time.
Re: RC3 delayYou don't want to rush the final stage of development no matter how eager the users are...
I am a beta tester for Corel Draw and we start testing up to twelve months before the code goes gold, the devs have only just had a week!
Would you like for your new upgraded site to be stuffed because of a rushed out version of the next release?? I know I wouldn't. 
Re: RC3 delayI knew this was comin.
well, WebChat, Calendar, TV, and definitely FreeContent will be the modules I'm going to have to make sure with RC3 the most.
I emphasize FreeContent because it runs many of the pages I use in my site.
So hopefully there will be some very straightforward instruction on what to upgrade in codes embedded in the these modules specifically or in general for all modules.
Re: RC3 delayhehehe.. and you guys were boasting of future RC's being backwards compatible.
this is the reason why i haven't installed a live XOOPS site yet. mods tend to be obsolete upon new releases. if only devs are open on core devt this things wont happen. what if u have 5 or more mods live and heavily used? ur a sitting duck.
oh well, just wanna share my thought on this.

Re: RC3 delayI was planning to use XOOPS French Team's mega-pack(It's beautiful:) It has many of the modules that I need, except hte newsletter.
But now that RC3 is coming and the modules will all need a little bit of hack, would the devs be kind enough and tell us what to change exactly in the mods to work with RC3?
I would ask the French team to help me about this, but we naturally have a language problem
And thanks for the announcement, I think people are happy to hear about the next version. Being aware of what's going on(no matter good or bad) is much better than a deep silence.
Re: RC3 delayi think i'm not the first to ask you this question but why didn't you use CVS ??
Re: RC3 delaySorry, for my English, i use a program translation !!!
Chosen : when the version RC3 will be available, i will do a new mega-pack (English / French)...
But it will be necessary to wait, the time that I test modulate them that work with the RC3.
Re: RC3 delayIs there going to be an option in the downloads section to allow users to upload a file to the server, so then the user doesn't need to have the file on his/her computer or other website? It could even fill in the web address automatically. It could be compatible with the current way by giving each user a folder on the webserver, the user uploads to that, and the link to the file is put in the category that the user chooses it to be.
I have not seen a desent file uploader/downloader for PHPNuke, PostNuke, or XOOPS. This feature would be very handy.
Thanks

Re: RC3 delayhus hus xtremdj
you ask a bad quistion "bad boy go to your corner!".
And as you see bad quistions you got no answer from the dev crew!! just purly ignoret!.
But yes i now iam a bad boy too therefor i agree whit you on this.
/Farsus
Re: RC3 delayThere's a file uploader available in the downloads section. The problem with a file uploader is the inherint security issues, so none of the Nuke CMS's have been able to really resolve that issue.
Re: RC3 delayQuote:
Surely you are kidding about this? Have you heard of a little project called PostNuke? And how awful it is dealing with their modules and new releases?
Re: RC3 delaythx farsus but i'm still thinking it would be great to put XOOPS in CVS !!!!!
But i think nobody will listen to me here..
Re: RC3 delayQuote:
Sorry, i really get pissed off when seeing this kind of behavior
Re: RC3 delayWell, if there is no response from any developer at all when asking a question or if you are just curious about what the progress is... well, i really start to question the Xoops-project. But i don't understand what you mean by "all your postings are complaints"???? I havent's posted any message at all lately. The only question i asked a few days ago was where everybody is going? It was very quiet on the discussion boards lately. That was a normal question.
But if you want that everybody starts to complain, keep going the way you devs do. Complaints will follow automaticly. Don't worry.
But i'm very disappointed that you didn't respond to the message i wrote. The only thing you react upon is about that i was pissed off. Please give a comment on my message, not on the last line. I simply want to know why you point your finger at PostNuke. XOOPS is supposed to be different.
Re: RC3 delayBah there are always whingers.
Stick to your plans XOOPS team... :)
Looking forward to RC3!
Mike
Re: RC3 delayThis was interesting news - a month ago. How about a new estimate to RC3 completion from someone on the development team. I'm not whining, I know everyone's working during what little spare time they have. Me too.
It'd save people a lot of time not having to visit this site twice a day if we knew it was going to be another month or two as opposed to another day.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
