After six weeks and registering almost twelve thousand nominations, the Open Source CMS Award finalists can be revealed. The following final five received the most public nominations during the course of the six weeks and are listed in alphabetical order:

• Drupal
• e107
• Joomla
• Plone
• Xoops

Congratulations to these finalists and thank you to everyone who nominated. The result was extremely close with very few votes separating the finalists. These five will now go through to a final stage of voting, with the eventual winner being announced on November 14. A panel of independent judges and votes taken from visitors to www.PacktPub.com will go towards deciding the eventual winner. Voting will commence on September 12 and will run until November.

I have just started a new section on my site WarPigw2.com. It is a section of Xoops Tutorials.

What it is exactly is a series of flash tutorials that explain how to complete different operations within Xoops and general site management functions.
Sometimes seeing is easier to understand than reading.

The tutorials are located in the Xoops Tutorials section of the site.
All tutorials are available for download in two formats: flash movies or PDF files.
The tutorials are available at the following:
