State of eZ Publish in 2023.11

Let’s talk about the current state of the world and eZ Publish in 2023.11.

As of November 2023, the state of eZ Publish is solidifying. The disappointment lies in the absence of ez.no, eroding faith in the ecosystem, and Ibexa DXP's shift to a non-free proprietary CMS platform.

However, there are positive aspects: Netgen eZ Publish Legacy CMS is available now for PHP 7.2 - PHP 8.2.x users, and Netgen, along with companies like mugo.ca and Brookins Consulting, actively maintains the GPL source code.

Notably, 7x is striving to restore faith in community resources, including sharing, extensions, designs, and GitHub Collection, to support eZ Publish CMS in a challenging era. While the platform works well with minimal issues, collaboration is sought to strengthen the community. Stay tuned for further updates on source code development and active engagement in the eZ Publish community.

The good news is eZ Publish works today.

And with minimal issues which could be relieved by a new packages release of several key default installation extensions.
