Ah well... Xoops didn't fare as well as Joomla in a comparison that one 
of the speakers made (who isn't a Joomla programmer, he's just a book 
author who's published various books, and he was actually quite critical 
about Joomla).

For those who can read German, you can see his slides at 
http://www.bloghouse.org/files/cms_vergleich.pdf .
For those who can't, there are the key points:
* Page 4 lists the numbers of hits for the various CMS systems
   (Google queries were "Mambo CMS", "Drupal CMS", etc., without the
   quotes)
* Page 21 has a comparison for blogging features.
* Page 22 has a comparison for corporations.
* Page 23 compares for online communities.

Xoops actually comes off pretty well, but he found it lacking in a few 
features, too.

(Oh, and if you ever have an opportunity to hear Hagen Graf live, go and 
attend. He has an outrageous tongue-in-cheek humor; his presentation was 
not just informative but funny, too.)
