Product history
XOOPS was started by developer Kazumi Ono in 2001[2], with a SourceForge project started on December 6 of that year.[3] After a series of betas and release candidates, the first stable release of XOOPS arrived on December 5, 2002 as version 1.3.6.[1] XOOPS 1.x was originally based off of PHPNuke 4.4.1 and MyPHPNuke 1.8.5, and the team claimed to have created one of the first open-source applications based on object-oriented programming.[2]
