The main goal is to get Xoops light as possible. This is what I've found and deleted. Yes, the difference is not great, but if you take that the most of the files are small language definitions, you should be aware that uploading Xoops to the server is now much faster.

This realase is just for test and fun. In the future, I'll try to make even smaller Xoops package, excluding some default modules and WYSIWYG editors.

This package contains only htdocs directory from the original archive and it is only for expert users.

Please test this version and let me know what you think. Also, please suggest what else you think that is obsolate or not in common use.

The results of shrinking is:
Xoops 2.4.5 zip archive (only htdocs dir) - 6.560.241 bytes
Xoops 2.4.5 light zip archive - 4.823.017 bytes

Xoops 2.4.5 unpacked (only zip archive) - 13.861.410 bytes
Xoops 2.4.5 light unpacked - 10.137.698 bytes

The final result - 3.723.712 bytes less!

What is deleted is text in archive, or on forum topic.

You're on your own with this package. This package is not official Xoops project, and you're warned. Also, I'm not responsable in any case if something bad happen (but it wouldn't).
