Notes

It is strange that in those nominations where it was decided to divide the second place between the two participants, they did not give third place to anyone. Apparently this was done in order to save, as the money for the prizes was well spent (Drupal took the most).

A very interesting rivalry happened with Wordpress, which appeared suddenly and, thanks to a large audience, immediately gained a strong advantage. I admit honestly that the MODx community has slightly upset this situation, as we counted on the first place :-)

Congratulations to all the winners! Good luck next year to all the losers.

Once again, I thank the MODx community (especially the Russian community ) for my active participation and congratulations on their victory!
