My first impressions of the module called 'Article' is that it provides an extensive and comprehensive article management system. Article has many features not found on other Xoops modules and possibly exceeds many other CMS article features sets. If you want a quick and easy 'get it up online article manager' this module will probably go well beyond your expectations, however if you need to present multi-page, multi-category professional documentation, Article will probably prove a delight to work with.

XOOPS is a program that allows administrators to easily create dynamic websites with great content and many outstanding features. It is an ideal tool for developing small to large dynamic community websites, intra company portals, corporate portals, weblogs and much more. It can be installed on an Internet host with a PHP-capable web server (e.g., Apache) and a database (e.g., MySQL).
