Title: Help us in growing Elxis !
Post by: Farhad Sakhaei on May 28, 2008, 13:17:19
Hi all Elxis lovers ,
We all love Elxis and we want to grow it in anyway ,
when i talked to some users of Elxis , They are ready to participate in growing Elxis , I'm too  , And I believe that many users are too
Unfortunately Elxis Team is very busy due to complete and making Elxis core better and better , We believe that they are working hard and they haven't much free time to work on the other needed components and add-ons ...
Also there are many users that they have business with Elxis , I am one of them ...
So we should support this great CMS in any way ... I personally want to pay money to growing this product , So we can all help this project

How we can help ?
=============
I think there are some limits in using other components like a Shopping Cart , Form Generator , File Manager and ...
1- we can encourage other CMS developers like Joomla/Mambo developers to help us in bringing their components to the Elxis compatible ...
Even with paying money to do this ...
2- We can talk to other developers and introduce Elxis features and functionality and encourage them to work on this great CMS and develop some add-ons for it , I believe that they will wonder about it ...
3- Help other users to have Elxis with their features and learn them to work and enjoy all of it's features ...

I personally want to pay 100$ donation for bringing a good component to Elxis , So we can help ourself and make this money more
What's your idea ? Your help ?

Regards
Elxis loving
Farhad

I think it is better to give these moneys to Elxis Team , So let's they decide !
We should first wait for other users help  :)

Thank you Spiros and Ioannis ,
This is because users see that how many lovers Elxis really has and we want to calculate that how much money we will make to support it for growing Elxis ...
Also this is for calculating money to discuss with other developers to propose them ...
Although the rest of this money will pay to the Elxis Team ...  :)

PS , This effort is for introducing Elxis to other developers and other system's users to encourage to use Elxis , That this will be very useful for all users and also for Elxis project ... So i want a person to candidate to start to discus with some good component's developers to invite them to bring their components to Elxis even by paying money to them ... So he/she can be good in this discuss and also introduce the Elxis features , But the final product should be under GNU/GPL and open source that the users can use it in best way ...
If Elxis Team can responsible for this , It will be very better ...
So we are waiting for another users for their help ... After completing the helps , We can discuss about which components and add-ons we need ... So finally we can talking with other developers and offer them ...

Guys thank you very much for your support but under no circumstance we are responsible on contacting third party developers and giving them money to make software for elxis. We are responsible for Elxis core development, nothing else. Everything else we do is beyond our main task and only to help the project. If you want to give some money to 3rd pds, do it as a group or individually but do not via Elxis Team (do it as elxis community). I personally don't want donations as one day someone may say something bad for me or for Elxis. Money can spoil Elxis project. I pay everything by myself but I feel better this way as I know that Elxis is independent and remains free. I ask nothing back. I have created some commercial extensions to get the money for elxis and it is OK that way.

Most software for Elxis 2006 created like this:
Someone wanted i.e. a gallery component. He paid a small amount of money on creating the component and afterwards we released that component to the public under the gnu/gpl license. The customer did his job, we get money for the time we spent and users had one more component to use.

Some companies have already templates for Elxis (i.e. http://www.themesclub.com/ ). Go to the developers ( http://jcd-a.org/ ) that have your desired component and pay them to make an elxis compatible version. Prefer the GNU/GPL ones so other users will use the component too. You must support companies like themesclub.com and buy their templates/products in order to create more for Elxis CMS. Developers and template creators need customers not just free downloads...

We love Elxis and also it's developers , So we all want in the first matter to support Elxis itself and also it's developers , So we want to do this for this purpose , I think all of friends that they want to participate in this way , They love Elxis project and it's developers in first ...
So I know that they don't say anything after paying some little money , They know that how many hours take to develop this great CMS...
