PROJECT IDEAS (XOOPS 3.0):
* Integration with a third-party PHP framework, most likely CakePHP
* Full support PHP 5.2+ and MySQL 5.0+ natively
* Supporting multiple database drivers
* Supporting multiple authentication drivers, including native xoopsDB, LDAP, OpenID, etc.
* Supporting multi-site feature
* New i18n service with native multi-language support
* Supporting multiple template engines thus customized template engine
* Embedded security protection against XSS and sql injection to free module developers from security concerns
* Enhancement of backend, including usability, automation of management tasks, security audit, etc.
* Boot sequence allowing preload feature
* Kernel is open to third-party developers so that they can add own frameworks or libraries without hacking the core, which also allows developers sharing libraries with others
* Improved ORM will enable crossing-module hook to allow interactions between modules without hacking each other
* RIA (Rich Internet Application : flex or ajax) will be implemented for usability improvement
* Creativity and compatibility: the future XOOPS will focus on the solid architecture and cutting edge features, meanwhile, XOOPS 2.3 modules will be fully compatible with XOOPS 3.0 through a legacy system
* A basic module toolkit will be provided for webmasters to create their own modules without programming skill
* Theme becomes inheritable, allowing webmaster creating a new theme dependent on a parent theme shared by other themes, which is convenient for webmasters and powerful for multi-site applications with great potential
