I keep an eye on this open source project every once in a while. Xoops CMS was the first open source content management system that I was introduced to several years ago. They are now in their 7th year of existence and going strong with a large community still to this date. In checking on them recently I noticed that they had just released Xoops Version 2.0.18.1. Looks like an IP Address!!!!
My biggest concern with Xoops is whether or not it can keep up with basic SEO (search engine optimization) fundamentals. Joomla CMS seems to have difficulties with things such as Rewriting URL’s. What seperates Drupal from everyone else is the multiple SEO friendly features it has. Does the new version of Xoops have these things? They did not before and that is why I found another CMS to work with. That being Drupal. Xoops has a lot of good features, but it needs to keep up with Drupal and Joomla in some of the basic needs we all have of a CMS.
