Hi Mallmus, We have a gallery website for a large UK Trust which will be going live with modx in the near future. Stay posted

Out of curiosity, what was the vetting process to get the NPG approved for using MODx. Can we do a case study or profile on it? Thanks Adam!

Thanks to those who pointed out the DB corruption issue, it turned out to be quite terminal but thankfully we have nightly db dumps.
Adam/Ryan, the site has been soft launched for now but I will update to the forum once we are ready to properly publicize it.

This is totally great! Its really good knowing that MODx is slowly being accepted as good enough for mainstream use - especially great that its here in the UK - do you know of any other official UK sites built with MODx?
We built
http://sheffieldismyplanet.co.uk in Modx -- not sure if it’s "official" but it is was a public sector commission (Sheffield City Council).

To satisfy the public sector security requirements, for the http//sheffieldismyplanet.co.uk site we had to go through an extensive penetration and security test (though not code audit) run by a third party web security specialist company, which covered our hosting but also ModX front end and the snippets we wrote for the site. It turned up very few problems; those which were identified were not serious vulnerabilities and mainly related to cookies, error reporting, and forcing Manager to use SSL. I made some changes to the ModX core in response - some I think I may have committed to SVN at the time (so prob in 1.0.3) but others would have required a lot more testing as I don’t think the changes would have worked in every circumstance.
