News: Independent Review of XOOPS 2.0.1

Posted by: RoosterOn 2003/4/22 17:58:01 4910 reads

This is to announce the publication of an independent review of XOOPS 2.0.1 in the Which Nuke for You? technology series at All-American Web Portals. The article was released earlier this morning in conjunction with the opening of an XOOPS demonstration site at this location, and was published here and on our main site.

The XOOPS Project developer and user community are to be commended for this new release. We have enjoyed putting it through its paces. Several modules were also tested, but not reviewed. Plans to review these modules and others have been put in the queue for publication at a later date.

All XOOPS supporters are invited to review both the article and the demo site, as comments are always welcomed.

The comments are owned by the author. We aren't responsible for their content.

Xoops is NOT a fork of NUKE. Please get your fact right.

Speaking of fact checking, I think that originally XOOPS was a fork of "PHPNuke 4.4.1 and MyPHPNuke 1.8.5". However, "[a]bout 70 - 80 percent of the code ha[d] been totally rewritten from the ground up" by the time the first release candidate was available. But don't take my word for it....

This is pretty close. The only remains of any nuke code that remains are in the modules. The core is totally original.

Quick comment here, in your review of Xoops, in the list of modules you mention Lycos Reviews. This should be Lykos Reviews (http://www.lykoszine.co.uk), not related to http://www.lycos.com

Thanks, the "Lycos" attribution is a typo, and probably Freudian, but more likely related to the time of the morning when I was completing the article. :) I'll make the correction today. Thanks for reading so carefully.

With respect to the lineage of XOOPS, I'm aware that it has evolved gratefully and gracefully into the 21st century from other sources. I'm using one of them now in myPHPNUke 1.8.8_7. Yet, none of the Nukes nor their developers need apologize for their roots. Each have a role to play and all are part of a tremendous and positive revolution on the Web. IMHO, I think, too, that the Nukes are a great example of what the Open Source community wants to create -- a sharing of code and technology for the benefit of many.

My reference in the article is in no way an attempt to diminish the direction that the XOOPS developers have taken in designing their own roadmap, and is a credit to all who are involved with them in this endeavor. I'm certainly a convert.

I agree with you and I would add, without wanting disparaged no one, but even to make a list of the sites of support and creator, it is not necessary to forget some....

Otherwise in fact, let's go vote for.... XOOPS!

sorry, but I use a translator to write you!! hahahaha !!!

C'est vrai e dommage, befamao! How could I overlook your site!! I will be sure to revise the article and include a link to XOOPS themes. My apologies. And, thanks for the feedback.

XOOPS-Themes.com has been added to the article. Any additional recommendations regarding XOOPS resources are welcomed. The Nuke world is fortunately very large and I make an effort to visit at least 5 new sites per day sometimes including those I might visit in preparation for an article. Although our size is not an excuse for overlooking an important contributing site.

To vote, use this Link.
