You're reading the Fourth (4th) issue of the World of XOOPS Newsletter, where the XOOPS Core Team informs you about their work, and gives you an overview of the recent additions to the XOOPS system, done by our great community.
I have published Xoops documentation in the form of an e-book called XoopsForDummies. This e-book is in exe format and compatible with Windows. I am working on a pdf format version.
The aim is to give Xoops beginners a good all round understanding of Xoops. I have a lot more I wish to add, but one can go on and on editing and never publish anything.. So I thought I would release this at the stage it is.
The next version should hopefully have more in depth info and tutorials on specific modules etc.
Due to the diligent and dedicated work of our Core Development Team and the Module Development Teams, the XOOPS project is ranked 6, and today even 5 in the most active projects list on SourceForge.net! Kudos to the dev teams and all the beta testers and bug and hack submitters! In this list, the XOOPS project leaves esteemed projects such as the Azereus BitTorrent Client and phpMyAdmin behind it in activity. I must say that I am very proud of what XOOPS ia achieving at this moment! We all have become a major player in the open source world! Thank you everyone!
Thanks for all the remarks about the first release of formulaire V2.
I have corrected many bugs and I thank you for your feedback. Please download the module again and update your module.
Please, also, make all your remarks on http://www.xoops-themes.org, the official support site for the module (comments are not really useful for doing support :))
