Organising the XOOPS Project and Community (Herko) Very interesting, I learned a lot about xoops.org - the organisation, as opposed to XOOPS - the product.
Herko had an excellent slide presentation, and all the information we received can be read from these slides (hurry up and publish them Herko )
Some of the highlights of his talk for me were: 1. XOOPS Foundation is a legal entity, with a board of directors. 2. XOOPS.org is a registered not for profit organization. 3. Mod developers are protected from legal challenges by the XOOPS Foundation. This relies on the co-operation of developers. If the developer has a project at dev.xoops.org and uses CVS consistently and correctly, xoops.org has a record of exactly when changes were made, why and by whom. This can be very important if a situation arises where a developer is accused of stealing code, for example.
