Towards a polished site
I have been working on a Xoops module to take care of the most important part of the site : the publishing and retrieval of 3d models. It’s rather crude at the moment, and I also have another fear: while Xoops is rather easy to get a working module for, the community is severely lacking some of the more polished modules/plugins one can find in more complex CMS platforms, such as Joomla or Drupal.
There is much work to be done to get the loose modules working together and the Xoops platform has lost much of its momentum last year during the period of infighting that spawned forks like ImpressCMS, chasing many talented developers away.
I seem to be coping at the moment, but it just seems more work to get to a point where other systems can take you with a standard install.

Hi,
I see you are mentioning ImpressCMS so I felt compelled to post a comment
. Just wanted to let you know that we are working hard at ImpressCMS to improve our CMS and have made considerable progress since our creation. But the best is still yet to come! It’s now been 1 year since we started this and we now have nearly everything in place in our community to take it to the next level!
I don’t know if you have given a try to our CMS but I would certainly encourage you to do so. Our ImpressCMS Persistable Framework enables any developer to quickly and painlessly develop any modules in a very timely fashion.
Anyway, feel free to drop by http://community.impresscms.org and ask any question you may have. We will be happy to assist you and perhaps help you making your module compatible with ImpressCMS.
Cheers !
