Good choice. I have already noticed the quality of the answers of GaneshXL.
Now, GaneshXL, I am interested to understand : why GANESHXL ?

See http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,3376.0.html. Is it linked with India and Ganesha ? En tous cas Bienvenue

I must say that IT IS ABOUT TIME... grin

I am a GaneshXL fan, he has some of the best solutions and clearly understands MODx and development. This is a great addition grin

This was the definition that I found to fit the web world:

In Hinduism, Ganesha refers to the "lord of the hosts"

XL must be for Xtra Large grin

Aye, thanks guys. I feel honored.

Yes, I’m a big fan of Ganesh. I’ve been travelling in India for quite a long time (long ago), and he was by far my favorite from the whole Hindu pantheon. He is often referred to as the Remover of Obstacles and helps kids with their studies

btw, what is this "Blue Sky" section about? Some kind of "team-members-only" area?

You got it. Only the cool kids can hang out here. I think that there are some other secret places as well for stuff like marketing and other specific stuff..but I haven’t learned the secret hand shake yet. grin

Cool cool cool .. Welcome GaneshXL! I’ll have to let loose on my shehnai tonight in a generally eastern direction. You should be able to track the herds of woodland creatures and birds escaping my horrible playing on any decent weather radar or satellite site.
Great move, oh wise leaders!

Welcome! It is great to see you here.

It is funny, I was thinking yesterday that you really needed to be drafted. Great choice Ryan!

Cheers,

Jay

I did a mistake. Regarding "handles" or "pseudos" look at http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,23059.0.html
