In my opinion, support should be made a priority for XOOPS and it's modules. Empowering users to effectively and successfully use XOOPS is what will drive the success of XOOPS and any XOOPS modules. If there is a significant portion of XOOPS members who become frustrated to the point of giving up on XOOPS or just putting out poor quality implementations of XOOPS, then that is going to have a very negative impact on both the public perception of XOOPS, and the future community support for XOOPS. With more users successfully utilizing XOOPS and its modules, there will be better public perception of XOOPS and more momentum and enthusiasm from the XOOPS community itself.

The key here is support! Developing an efficient and responsive support system for XOOPS and it's modules will be a major factor in driving the success of XOOPS. XOOPS will only be successful in the future if the people who use it are successful with it!

The most successful open source products of the future will be the products that provide the best support. The support of a product is just as important as the programming code behind the product.


Absolutelly yes.
Now the situation about this issue is:
1.- if you want support about any module you can:
- post here
- in the developer page
- in Module Dev forge.
It you have a suggestion, want report a bug or request a new feature...it is too much confuse and it is very possible that there is no feedback between users and module developer.
The Module repository is closed, and anyway is outdated.
The Module Development Team is not a Project Team, is out of here onhttp://www.xoopsmoddev.org/ and (ïn the future) in xoopsaddons.org.
There is a discussion about the new forums layout and where will be (here or in xoopsinfo.com).

Now look at drupal.org: in the forum there is no support about the modules; these are in a the home page, in a section, and each module has a section with excelent content: Date,Links, versions, Download, Release notes
Find out more, Bugs and feature requests.
It very easy find any module and all the neccesary information and support.

Wich are the problems here?
Xoops organization is confuse (what about community Teams?) and the people that could work in these and another questions have problems. We have lost very valuable people in the last months.
In the forums there are too much personal issues about the past; there are good ideas too, but in the end, lost.

You had post a very important issue; my opinion (look at drupal) could not be good. Other opinions could be better, any doubt. We can discuss about which is the better on modules repository, support, etc. But, castles in the sands

Which committee is charged with making the changes?
Who has the authority to alter the code of x.o site?
Who has the ability to action the same?


According to Project Council report for August

Quote:
The Technical group has invited two server administrators, jdseymour and Mr Xiao LI. Both are excellent additions to the Technical group, and are handling the migration of XOOPS.org and dev.XOOPS.org to the new servers.

Dave_L: technical group
studioC: theme design and new sites organization


However I suppose that you had readed this new too and I understand that your face may be showing a tinge of blue.

Anyway, I've had enough. I give up.

Another great loss.
Please, the discussions are fine: but we need facts, organization and who want work (in any matter) can do it.
This site need urgently a full reform. The forums could be here, in xoopsinfo.com in forum.xoops.org etc, but It will be a mess that (as another threads as this) this discussión do not produces facts.
What about prommotion?
What about docs?.
What about comms with local support sites?
What about module repository?.
What about theme repository?.
Look at Joomla.org or drupal.org: not as xoopers, as newbies in CMS. No comments.
Since June there is no advances. Only losts.

The Comms and Doc Team was announced here.
For a short time could publish news in xoops.org and the Team started towork. Also The Team tried to maintain a good communication with local support sites with success.
But Tom`s permissions about publish news were removed; and in "Moving forward" was a new structure: the project and the community with separate sites, but that proposal is suspend.
When the new XOOPS Project Council was established (here) a new doc Team was established too and Design team assumes: design of *.xoops.org sites' themes; rebuilding of *.xoops.org sites; management of official theme site. It is the answer for your question.

Quote:
What ever became of Tom's idea for a communication/news team? Seemed like an essential team... Did it ever get created? Where can we communicate with them?

The initial Comms and Doc Team was in charge of: news, docs and prommotion but now can not publish news here, has not acces to xoops.docs.org and can not assume the prommotion. There is no communcations with local support sites now.
The Team works in xoopsinfo.com and xoopswiki.org...in spite of all the previous one.

I recommended you Lifetype. I am not a encoder but I readed (not remember where, herve´s post perhaps) that the wordpress code is bad.
I do not like admin section in Wordpress and Wordpress MU is a very young project. However, there are a lof of themes and plugins for WordPress and a lot of people use it.
Lifetype has few themes; less plugins that wordpress but it is enough for me.
It is a personal opinion: try both...and choice Lifetype, of course

I haven't changed anything in my site, in fact haven't even go there for a few days, and suddenly I can't log in.
It looks fine at first, it says that logging was succesful, I can see the user menu, but when I try to enter anything from that menu (profile, messages, etc.), I get "access denied" screen and it throws me back to the main page as an anonymous.

Strange.
Try check and repair the database using phpMyAdmin (if your server allow it).
Make sure that the cache, uploads, templates_c directories are CHMOD 777 and clean cache and templates_c
Normally the problem often is the "table session" but you say that it is empty
Another option, check this:

The issue ended up being that my firewall somehow changed the date on my computer settings to show 1 day later than it actually was. (example: today is march 3 and computer settings showed march 4)This allowed me to login in where the redirect welcomes me but would not give me any module or admin access. Once i changed the settings to the right date on my computer all was well.......weird, but who knows.
