Hi Lenya devs,

there are various Xopus-related files in the core.

Does someone know if they can be used out of the box?

what do you mean by out of the box?

I meant if it needs more than configuration.

no, just (local.)build.properties

One needs to configure Xopus dir within (local.)build.properties and that's it

Do you know if this still works in 1.4?

I hope :-), but haven't tested it recently

i don't like having hooks for a commercial product that is not used by the majority of the community in so many places in the core.

i know that it's a legacy, and i certainly don't want to be unfriendly towards commercial add-ons, but those things should either be totally self-contained or removed. so votes++ for moving all xopus-related stufff into a module (and since no one seems to use it, the state of xopus support would stay constant at "untested" :-D)

I wouldn't like to remove it, the Xopus integration is very valuable
for the IE world.  IMO the best way would be to move it to a module
and test it, at least with the evaluation version of Xopus. But I
don't know if I find the time - any volunteers?

if it's used, somebody who needs it (or whose clients need it) should holler now and wrap it up into a module. but unmaintained code should not be allowed to stay in the core for longer than a grace period for very small values of grace.
