Take the following sentence:</p> <blockquote> <p>(NAME)! I just slipped and stepped in some (NAME)!</p> </blockquote> <p>You can do this for about any <span class="caps">FOSS CMS</span> out there and it is absolutely hysterical.</p> <p><em>Joomla! I just slipped and stepped in some joomla!</em></p> <p>Or maybe&#8230;</p> <p><em><span class="caps">XOOPS</span>! I just slipped and stepped in some <span class="caps">XOOPS</span>!</em></p> <p>Ok, back to the topic at hand)</p> <p>The forum thread in question has a pretty alarming tone, as well as overall meaning. Without getting drawn into the fight, can someone explain what is going on over there?</p> Fri, 12 Oct 2007 20:53:00 +0000 urn:uuid:737153e0-d45d-4330-9208-abd913b09ed9 Spacemonkey http://www.opensourcehypocrisy.org/articles/2007/10/12/xoops-has-left-the-building Copyright gpl xoops http://www.opensourcehypocrisy.org/articles/trackback/15
