[Envolution-devel] MaxDev Project

[Maxdev <ti...@ma...>]

First, I would like to thank all of you have sent me emails, messages, and=
 made calls from around the globe, and especially those from Italy. It is=
 for this reason that I have delayed in writing this news, I'd like to=
 respond all of your messeges but there are too many, and this is only the=
 beginning. I'm very astonished to see how many people want to follow me in=
 this my new project. 

In fact, initially I thought it would be only a personal project, and only=
 in Italian, but now many developers have decided to follow me, and others=
 will come. Many have not worked on eNvolution and then this will be my=
 project, but much bigger, with the contribution of many other developers,=
 and naturally, multilanguage.

Second, some have misinterpreted my statemnt "I've decided to resign as=
 eNvolution Project Manager" to mean that I am leaving the eNvoluion=
 development staff all together. This is so. First of all - I'm one of 4=
 eNvolution founders and for this reason, I will forever be part of the=
 eNvolution project. I've only resigned as Project Manager, and I've given=
 this positions responsabilities temporarily to Zoom and then to ApathyBoy,=
 just like the original responsibility was shared between myself and=
 Madhatt, but sure now my concentration and time will be give to another=
 project.

Working as Project Manager is a very binding and time consuming and demands=
 a firm presence on support, development, CVS, and to managing the general=
 organization of several developers, countless users, all of which are in=
 multiple languages. It feel along the lines of professional work and for=
 this reason, it must be noted that in this case it was not a routine work,=
 but it was also a structure and organization and development work,=
 beginning from zero.
Surely you all understand that because of the stress envolved in this=
 position that it is only natural to rotate rolls. This is why we have a=
 staff to help share the burden. You surely understand that in this=
 condition became natural to rotate rolls, a staff exist for this too.
In short, all I am saying is that my resignation is only a normal roll=
 rotation, forecasted some time ago, within the eNvolution project and=
 development staff.


MaxDev Project


In recent news, I've written about the birthing of my new project, MaxDev,=
 and I would like to take a moment to try to explain things a little bit=
 better.
To manage contents, dynamic web site, a simple CMS is not more sufficient=
 today, users and admins have changed their necessities, they change them=
 every time and they need to have new and more powerful tools and=
 integrations, for E-Commerce, Intranet, Multisites, E-Learning, Workflow,=
 managing multimedia, modules, blocks and add-ons. 
And it's obvious that all this cannot be developed only within a core.

Then in my MaxDev project we're working to create a site for professionals=
 and active contributors, developers, translators, editors, promoters,=
 graphics and more, where it will be developed: integration of Postnuke,=
 eNvolution, Oscommerce and other CMS systems, like special version of this=
 system to manage E-Commerce, E-Learning, intranet, Workflow, ERP, hotels=
 and restaurant administration and many more.
 
Other tools can be ibryds or lite versions (perfect to be installed on=
 hosting with minimal features) or particular versions of these systems, all=
 with professional development and code cleaning.
Entry in this site will be free, but binded: there will be different kind of=
 users determined by activity and contributions that everyone can take to=
 develop this site.

Then anyone can entry, read, comment, but asking for professional support,=
 download particular kind of software or special versions will depend form=
 contribution that anyone give to community: you could be an active user, a=
 person who contribute developing, make graphic, translating, writing=
 documents, reviews, and all this will be measured from quality not=
 quantity.

MaxDev users and developers will have others obligations, moral too, to=
 respect, but many advantages: first of all, to work in a community of=
 people who develop for professional use, in schools, Universities,=
 associations, big and small industries, big community portals and more.

Then, it will be not easy... but very exciting to be present.

If you're interested mailing lists are operative... you can find them here:

Note that dev mailing lists (developers) aren't free, and then if you're=
 interested to active participations write to in...@ma... 

Now is already active our private cvs and as soon as possible we will active=
 other resources.
