Welcome to the May 2012 issue of WOX (World of XOOPS) Newsletter   (see here previous versions ) 

We are doing a little bit better with WOX - the May edition of WOX is being published in May!

Our XOOPS friends at www.arabxoops.com have been very busy showcasing XOOPS to many organizations and government agencies, and the great news is that after testing XOOPS agains other major Open Source CMS solutions, XOOPS was selected to power the Libyan National Elections High Commission . This is a second important win for XOOPS, after being selected previously as the CMS of choice to power the Libyan Ministry of Defense Website . Congratulations to Mowaffaq and his team!

Work continues on XOOPS 2.6.0 . Nicolas (ForMuss) did an awesome job incorporating Twitter's Bootstrap HTML/CSS toolkit in both Admin and User GUI, and Mage is doing fantastic work extracting system functionality into extensions/plugins. You can follow the development on XOOPS SVN , or you can subscribe to our SVN mailing list to receive updates.

Again, we would like to encourage everybody to ask themselves a question:

What can I do for XOOPS? 
What could I contribute to XOOPS?

There are many areas where you can contribute, based on your skill level: Core, modules, themes, documentation, providing support on the Forums, and translating XOOPS into local languages.

We need to create more teamwork and more community spirit by getting more people actively contributing to XOOPS.

Let's make XOOPS a true "Community Project"!  

Recent Highlights:

• XOOPS 2.5.5 Final released
