The development of the upcoming version Elxis Nautilus continues normally and based on the time schedule we have set. The support by the community is bigger than ever and we are very happy for this. People working on the Nautilus project have realized how great and important is this project and do their best. It worths to mention that 99.99% of the source code has been written by us from scratch. There are only 1 or 2, minor importance, third party libraries in Elxis Nautilus. So everything has been written for Elxis Nautilus exclusively.

We would like to share with you our vision for a content management system far beyond to what you have seen till now. Elxis Nautilus is the code name for the 4th Elxis generation, 2011.x. With Elxis Nautilus we completely through away the Mambos family legacy and coding style once and for all. With modern design architecture, code and standards Elxis Nautilus becomes a superb web application with unique features which we are sure that many other CMS developers will mimic in the future.

Currently we develop the basic core of the new Elxis. Everything is being written from scratch. For each problem we test and benchmark various solutions to find the best one. Our basic goal is to build a CMS that will be extremely powerful and, at the same time, easy to administer. In order this to become a reality we have reduced the work the site administrator has to do in order to add content, categories, menus, etc. The inner core is smart enough to handle most tasks automatically. Details and specifications of Elxis nautilus will be announced in the near future.

We are very happy to announce you the release of the eForum component for Elxis CMS. eForum is a full featured forum component that allows you to keep a forum system in your Elxis powered site. No more bridges, external forum applications and hacks. eForum is an native elxis component, fully integrated into the CMS. Elxis users are your forum members. The component development took a long time to complete as we were working at the same time on other projects but we believe it worths the waiting. We also implemented some very cool features on eForum that you wont find easily on other forum applications like PDF export, an iphone/ipod compatible version and chatters. Together with eForum we also released some extensions for it and others will follow soon. eForum developed by Ioannis Sannos and released for free under the Creative Common Share Alike 3.0 licence. Special thanks to Spiros Panagiotakopoulos, Stavros Stratakis and Nikos Vlachtsis for their help on documentation and eForum specific extensions development.
