ThemeForest-like MODX Template marketplace? Would you sell templates? Ideas?

Yes eheheh ). Just because WP is good for blogging, I don’t mind if we do it with MODx. I’d really love a MODx tut website with multiple editors.

Note the "MODX U is coming" note on our Learn page at the bottom right which has been there from the launch. http://modx.com/learn/

Any chance to get it internationalized? How about contribution?

It definitely will be a multi-lingual destination, and we’ll be looking for writers for sure.

Okay. You know, I could do some work in German.

I have to agree there. IMHO saying that modx is good for blogging goes in the same lines as saying that WordPress is good for CMS.

Yeah, have been waiting for a good modx tutorial site. I mean with the basics, and stuff like, "how to build a back-end to a xml/flash site using modx". Wanted to start one myself, but I’m more of a business/marketing guy than a web designer/developer.

I dunno about all that... I just set up PubKit for a client who was going to install a WordPress site just for adding a blog section to his site. Took less than an hour to set up the web user group and a web user for him and modify the demo "sitelet" blogging section it installs (mostly just removing the interesting stuff it does that I didn’t need); of course styling the Ditto results to please took a bit longer, but then so would WordPress.

I must agree here, some time ago I had the need of adding a blog in my website and I decided to use MODx, and is working very well (expecially in the SEO area), although I had problems implementing a tagging system and add contributors permissions.

Anyway, after reading Susan comment I have changed my idea about choosing WP or MODx. I think that MODx would be a better choice in this situation because having a MODx blog, it would be much easier to make a working example of the tutorial. There are many way of doing this, with TV or wise use of Templates and chunks.

I like the idea that it’ll be multi-lingual as I am already writing tutorials in Italian for MODx Evolution (and expecially because my English is not good ).

I think that a quality tut website will not only help many newcomers but also increase a lot the number of user that choose MODx as favourite CMS.

Is the MODX U(niversity) still "coming"?

I really have interest in creating and selling MODX templates. I would also be interested in developing this marketplace website.
