features. It is an ideal tool for developing small to large dynamic
community websites, intra company portals, corporate portals, weblogs
and much more.
What XOOPS stands for
XOOPS is an acronym of eXtensible Object Oriented Portal System. Though
started as a portal system, XOOPS is in fact striving steadily on the
track of Content Management System. It can serve as a web framework for
use by small, medium and large sites.
A lite XOOPS can be used as a personal weblog or journal. For this
purpose, you can do a standard install, and use its News module only.
For a medium site, you can use modules like News, Forum, Download, Web
Links etc to form a community to interact with your members and
visitors. For a large site as an enterprise one, you can develop your
own modules such as eShop, and use XOOP's uniform user management system
to seamlessly integrate your modules with the whole system.
