XOOPS is free open-source content management software. "XOOPS" stands for eXtensible Object Oriented Portal System.[2]

Product history

XOOPS was started by developer Kazumi Ono in 2001[2], with a SourceForge project started on December 6 of that year.[3] After a series of betas and release candidates, the first stable release of XOOPS arrived on December 5, 2002 as version 1.3.6.[1] XOOPS 1.x was originally based off of PHPNuke 4.4.1 and MyPHPNuke 1.8.5, and the team claimed to have created one of the first open-source applications based on object-oriented programming.[2]

In late 2009, the XOOPS Community announced an internal disagreement between itself and the former project manager Herko Coomans, claiming the financial decisions Coomans was making (under the entity Stichting XOOPS) — as well as other activity from other members — was disrupting the functioning of the project. Additional claims were made about withholding the domain name and nearly €15,000 from the Community, and a suit was filed against Coomans.[4] The Dutch Court rejected the suit in April 2010, dismissing claims "of a legal commitment from Stichting XOOPS to Xoops Foundation LLC."[5][6]
