From what I've seen of Ryan's branch of 2.3 development I'm willing to wait a bit for it. It's close to stunning. Gives me the same shivery feeling I got when I first saw a 17" PowerBook. I know, I don't have a life
Speaking from documented personal experience, I have spent thousands of hours digging through the classes and various components of MODX. These guys are brilliant.
If they did not do anything else to the platform, it would still be stunning.
I have had the 2.3 branch on my system for quite some time....
I have to agree with Sottwell on this.

I couldn't have put it any better than that, though my thousands of hours are not formally documented.
I think your book is pretty good documentation. Not to mention your Guides.
That was five years ago. Oracle's Ellison had rude things to say about it at about the same time. Now?

Stallman is a fanatic. Hardly anybody does much more than mock him. We'd all still be sitting on our thumbs waiting for the GNU Hurd to actually be useful if he had his way.

I spent a few years at M.I.T. I don't sport a big, bushy, grey beard. I'm willing to use both commercial and free (as in "free beer") software. Does that make me a bad person? Do I care whether or not that makes me a bad person?
I looked just like that in 1964.
I'm a maverick, a rebel, and a troublemaker in general. Never got anywhere near MIT or any other institution of higher learning for that matter (at any rate, from the student end, I worked for the University of Miami long enough to be highly amused at the corruption and petty bickering going on behind the scenes of Academia - oh, the fun I had at the "town meetings" of UMHC!). I like poking at self-important people and organizations, from snooty neighbors to world-power governments. To say that "the man" is oppressing you, then oppress whoever doesn't agree with you is hypocritical at best. And I can also knit booties for my grandchildren, as I was actually scornfully told to do 20 years ago - although the same guy offered me a job a few months later.
