About this project

XOOPS Core 2.7.x is the repository holding the core code of the XOOPS content management system. According to the README, this is the 2.7.x line, while a next generation of the project is described as currently under development, with a link pointing to a news item on the project's main site for further information. What the repository provides - The core code needed to run a XOOPS 2.7.x installation. - Installation and upgrade instructions published separately in the XOOPS Install & Upgrade Guide, hosted on GitBook and referenced directly from the README. - A pointer to the main XOOPS website (xoops.org) for more information on building a website with XOOPS. - The repository description notes that the current release is 2.7.3, with release artifacts published through the project's GitHub releases page. Project health and tooling The README displays several status badges, which indicate the project's public engineering practices: a CI workflow run through GitHub Actions, a GPL software license, code coverage and quality scores tracked on Scrutinizer CI, and a badge for the latest GitHub release version. These badges reflect configured tooling rather than measured outcomes; the repository does not present benchmark, performance or ranking claims. Community and contribution Contributions are invited through the project's CONTRIBUTING file. The README asks that changes be completed and tested before being submitted as a pull request on GitHub for review. A contributors section links to an automatically generated contributor graph. Funding and support The project collects monthly donations through Open Collective, with separate lists of backers and sponsors. The README notes that sponsorship includes logo placement in the GitHub README with a link to the sponsor's site. It also credits JetBrains for supporting development with complimentary PhpStorm licenses. Who it may suit This repository is aimed at developers and administrators who want to deploy, maintain or extend a XOOPS-based site, and at contributors interested in the core codebase. The README is primarily a pointer to installation documentation, community channels and contribution guidance rather than a feature tour, so readers looking for a detailed capability list should consult the linked documentation and the project website. Practical notes The README contains a large number of image links for badges, backer and sponsor avatars; these are decorative and carry no functional information. The substantive content is limited to the version note, documentation links, contribution process, and funding acknowledgements described above.
