Despite the widespread use of open source products, it is very rare to hear that someone is willing to express gratitude to the authors. And very often you can hear
that our whole mentality and standard of living is to blame. But each of us can provide real assistance by allocating a small amount.
Transferred from the CMS sectionCollected at the moment:
1021 rubles and $ 5 .

MODx system, which many people know and use. Soon we are waiting for the release of version 0.9.7, which will continue to develop a unique concept and give us
new opportunities . And there and to the first version close.

About project MODx-cms.ru
The project exists for
half a year and was created to resolve issues that arise with the use of MODx (lack of documentation, solutions, a platform for resolving issues, sharing experience, etc.)
This is an unofficial community! The official community is
modx.ruRelations with modx.ru
So, as this attitude has become the most discussed topic, then I offer a brief account of the history of events.
The MODx-cms.ru project appeared on the basis of a conflict with the official community of modx.ru, which refused to take any initiatives to develop the Russian community, accumulate documentation, etc.

Continuing the idea of ​​Metaller about popularizing the system, I will say.
Most people who want to use modx do not want to understand it, opensource = freebie for them. Good luck to them.
Most people who use modx and who have dealt with it do not write on the forum about how they solved their questions. They decided them and they do not care for others.
Now give me at least one motive other than my personal interests, which are known only to me, why should I spend most of my time on solving other people's problems, so that everyone should be satisfied? it is rather not a question, but just information for thought.
And to make at least some sense in this post, I summarize:
1. here is not a free help forum for creating your sites. here is a place for people to communicate USING modx. If you do not have time and desire to deal with the system - this system is not for you.
2. here no one sets goals other than solving their problems. therefore, it is not necessary to “wave flags” about popularization, promotion.
3. here you will be treated as you treat the rest. and you will be judged by contribution to the community.
We went against it and organized our site, which we are gradually developing by the participants. And for our initiative, we constantly feel pressure from “official” representatives. They also do not support this action and will not transfer money.
Summary
Everyone has the right to decide whether to entrust us money or not. This is a personal initiative of the MODx-cms.ru project, which is organized as a mark of respect for the developers. That's all. If you do not believe us, but want to help, then send your help directly.
I hope that I answered the basic questions that worried you. And there will be more thoughts on the topic. If you just regret the money, then just ignore the action, it is not to search for enemies.
To help or not is
your personal business. Nobody forces you to do this, but if you still feel that the developers should be thanked, then we are not all in vain. But mercantile spirit does not need to be justified by various philosophical reflections and the search for dirty tricks.
