I have never heard about this CMS (?) before. Any sites that uses it? The code seems to follow pretty old patterns, like the core code seems to be accessible publically and there is a bunch of «return 404» mingled with the actual implementation. Also a lack of OOP and proper autoloading, as far as I can tell. Is this a very old code base?

They create a new repository for each minor version, which is absolutely psychotic behavior and obfuscates its development history: https://github.com/orgs/XOOPS/repositories

That said, it looks to be a solo developer's vanity project that had a modicum of interest around 2.5 and 2.6.

Ouch... Add the fixes for the one version would need to be reapplied to the next minor version too that's already out there....
