A visual introduction to XOOPS

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

This is the first public draft of our collective effort’s first release. Please don’t mind the omis-
sions and pay attention to the contribution it represents for the XOOPS community.
We expect this document to evolve along with XOOPS, along with the community and along
with our skills in documenting useful features to help newbies get up to speed soon.
Enjoy this little handbook. We hope it’s the first of many more to come, and right away we ask
from you something invaluable: your feedback. Without it, we’re blind, deaf and dumb, and
don’t know if this is useful for YOU
