Title: All the questions that need to be answerd after your first meeting with Elxis.
Post by: CREATIVE Options on September 06, 2009, 16:57:13: I would like every user of the Elxis CMS to participate in this.

I would like Elxis users to post as soon as possible (because of my tight schedule), the first questions that came to your mind when you came across Elxis.

It doesn't matter if someone else has already posted the same or similar question or if it now seems easy to you.

The point of this is not to somehow test your skill with Elxis, BUT to help me to create articles / guide to help the current & future users of Elxis.

Any question, however basic or expert is important for this guide.

-----------------------------------
Q: Why do I need your questions ?
A: Because I would like your help to create a guide that will make life for Elxis users easier.

Q: What will be the future use of your questions ?
A: First I will gather all your questions and then I will create a guide. This guide will be released for free !
Also I hope that in the meantime I will familiarize myself with our wiki system, so I will post the guide there as well (ks-net, probably I will need your help for this).

Q: How soon are the questions needed ?
A: It will be great if I have more than 50 questions before 11 September 2009.

Thank you all in advance for your support in this project.

Best Regards to all,
Nick Sirigos

I would be interested in learning more about softdisk for the possibility of building more functions using the existing Elxis database.

- Does it work with PostgreSQL?
- Does it work with Apache?
- Every CMS claims to be "multilingual". What's the difference between Elxis and the others?

I would be involved in discovering more about softdisk for the likelihood of construction more purposes utilising the existing Elxis database.
