Hello, my name is Marino (so, you guessed, my nick is an original one
)
I have been using Phase/Etomite from nearly the beginning, but to be true, didnt visited the site neither the forums too much (even I didnt know of the existence of MODx :p). Even when I must thank Alex for Etomite, I didnt like some things and did not needed to visit the site, so never were active at all on etomite forums (it started when I submitted a bug report and a fix for Phase and the answer was in the line of "thanks, but it isnt needed as 0.6 will be a rewrite and havent this problem" to later find that 0.6 still had the same problem and that the bugfix werent available anywhere in their site :p.
Even, with some friends we were thinking in a fork of Etomite (we were just in the stage of defining main ideas to make a roadmap), to be free to do our own changes and make then available, but I think our fork-project is dead from now on, as MODx goes the way we wanted to walk, so no need to reinvent the wheel.
About myself, I have some experience with PHP and CMSs, as I were the webmaster of postnuke-espanol.org for three years, until got tired of the polithics wars in the development core of PN and closed the site (
http://www.postnuke-espanol.org) and left the PN team.
Other nick I use is "xaplo", which is the one I used when was more involved with Postnuke and later with Evolution.
Said that, my hand is here for any help you need.
As the first step, I’m planning to upload our spanish translation, as soon as it’s converted to MODx.
