There’s still scope for MODx to benefit from the attention given to the awards, for example in the Digg comments:
http://www.digg.com/programming/Plone_the_only_non_PHP_CMS_in_the_top_5_of_the_Open_Source_CMS_awards
- there’s a mention of MODx as "[one] of the better php web application frameworks".
PHP/MySQL shows it’s dominance of web development mindshare winning 4 of the top 5 spots. Ruby on Rails misses out (As do some of the better php web application frameworks like ModX)
One of their people contacted me a few weeks ago about this, but then they started getting anxious about user base, and I haven’t heard any more about it.
Anyway, you’re right Steph for them it’s a good way to analyze which system are popular enough to make a book profitable
Some french people asked me if I had a MODx book in mind in the near future, but as you say to get an editor’s attention, you need user base and we’re not there yet.
Which possibly suggests that they’ve already passed data from the nominations process to their R&D dept (or whatever the equivalent is in publishing). Do we have any idea of the MODx user base? I can definitely say that the user base would be greater if there was a decent book available...

And that’s from a pro-Plone guy!
indeed it’s pretty nice to be in the same basket as Ruby On Rails
