Hi everyone,
I’m sorry I didn’t reply earlier (I’m actually the one who started this topic). Also, I wanted to apologies if any of my words came out rude, it was not my intention at all.
I agree with pretty much with everything that was said above, and yes, if everyone could give some of their time to make Modx better.
Believe it or not, I actually did in the past:
-
I spent some precious time converting Discuss to Bootstrap ( modx previous forum system ) ( https://github.com/carlo-13/Discuss ).
Believe me it was awful, the template was divided in lots of small files, divided in lots of small folders… and the plugin was later discontinued.
Just like Modx community, I’ve also switched to Discourse which is an amazing forum software ( I frankly believe it’s the best right now ). -
Same with Articles, I’ve forked it on Github, but I’ve also tried to get people attention more than a year ago on this forum: Reviving Articles plugin
It’s a shame because I really think that if Articles was improved, it would really bring more people to Modx.
I believe @joshualuckers is in charge ( I don’t know him personally ), but it looks like he doesn’t have much time to allocate to the project.
I was thinking, maybe we could try to set some funding/milestone, based on donation from the community. But it’s important to set clear goals.
I would be willing to list the things that could make articles better, and even manage the project ( set objectives and milestone ).
Like a said I’m not a developer, but I have ideas, and maybe I have a more “out of the box” vision.
