Since the last MODXpo in 2015, a lot has happened in the MODX community. So it’s time to bring the community together again to share our experiences and help move MODX forward, this time in Minsk, Belarus!

On Wednesday, Bert Oost announced that he will stop maintaining SimpleCart. Since taking on a full time job, Bert has been struggling trying to find enough time to maintain and support it and he announced he's looking for someone to take over development of the ecommerce extra. 

Bob Ray has been a well-known MODX contributor for a long time, and with SiteCheck he has put a lot of his knowledge and experience into a single extra. SiteCheck analyses your entire MODX site, trying to find common and not-so-common issues and it provides you with a list of what needs to be fixed. If you want to, it can also correct a lot of these issues automatically. 

There seems to be a misconception that the MODX Bug Hunt is only focused on fixing code. There are lots of other things that people can do to contribute that don't require ninja coding skills!

This is the story of a Snippet I once wrote, how it started out as a very simple way of doing a specific task and how MODX enabled it to become something more -- something super.

The team at Sterc is once again working on something cool! This time it's called Formalicious, and it's a new extra for MODX that lets you build forms easily. We gave the new beta a quick spin for you, our lovely readers.
