xoops FACTORY

XOOPSaddons.org opened today as another community-driven site to provide a central repository of XOOPS modules, themes, extensions, templates and language packs.

This long-awaited and much discussed resource is the work of many contributors and every effort has been made to give credit where credit is due. There are still plans for additional features for the site, including multilanguage support, supported and maintained module packs and a companion demo site.

Currently, the site houses over 400 modules, more than 400 themes and 60 language packs. This is not a complete compilation of all that is available to extend your XOOPS site, but the work continues and the community’s assistance is greatly appreciate in completing and maintaining this repository. If you would like to help in any way, please contact the team using the Addon Team Forums - http://xoopsinfo.com/modules/newbb/index.php?cat=8

I’m happy to introduce a XOOPS group on XING!

Join, if you haven’t already done!

“XING (named openBC/Open Business Club until November 17th, 2006) is a social software platform for enabling a small-world network for professionals. The company operating it claims that it is used by people from over 190 countries, albeit the majority of users are Germans. Available languages include English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, Dutch, Chinese, Finnish, Swedish, Japanese, Russian, Polish, Turkish and Hungarian.” (wikipedia,10/2007)

I have scheduled the relaunch of xoopsfactory.com for december this year or early beginning of next year. Actually I’m gathering ideas and people around me who are willing to participate. What can you expect? XOOPS factory’s main goal was and is to show XOOPS SITES to our visitors. To show what can be achieved with XOOPS. To show the flexibility and different usage of XOOPS.

During the last few days there were several articles and comments about the actual situation behind the community. The XOOPS foundation and and the XOOPS council. I’m more than tired to read such posts day by day. How long will it last until we have a dead XOOPS? A quote by Speed (user on xoops.org): “Enough is enough. Period. Done. Stop the infighting and move on. Please.”
