1. Newsletter? What's going on here?
Many of you have been with Xoops for a long time. As such, you've seen it grow from being just another PHP-Nuke fork to a powerful and efficient content management system (CMS). For those of you new to the Xoops system, the members of the Core Team would like to welcome you to our community! If you have an interest in web development, you have a home here!
As we've grown, it's also become apparent that as our user base expands, our needs (and wants!) become more diverse. As such, the Xoops Core Team has established a community relations position to facilitate communications between the various Xoops Teams and our fantastic user base.
You have already seen other roadmaps for the core and modules; however, each member of the core team is working on their plan for 2004. In the near future, we will be publishing those to get your feedback, ideas, and especially your support.
We will be calling on our user base over the next couple of months to assist in specific and focused development efforts. These efforts may revolve are documentation, technical support, module development, theme development, and content submission. We hope to make these initiatives fun and exciting - with plenty of recognition for our contributors. More information on that in upcoming newsletters...
Speaking of newsletters! This should be a monthly installment. I am hoping to keep everyone updated on all the great things that are happening in the Xoops world during the previous month. I can only hope to keep up!
You have a voice here! If I missed your contribution, I apologize in advance. Just shoot me message and I'll include it in the next newsletter!
I'd like to end by wishing you a sucessful and safe end to your year, and I hope that you have a fantastic 2004!
Take care,
DLH
