## History

Initially inspired by **Etomite 0.6**, then it has been **MODX Evolution 0.7 - 1.0.8** is an ongoing project written by *Raymond Irving* and a core team of contributors **MODX**, and now its **Evolution CMS** maintained by *Dmytro Lukianenko*, *Serhii Korneliuk* and a core team of contributors at the **Evolution CMS Project**.
Initially inspired by **Etomite 0.6**, the project became **MODX Evolution**, the original MODX codebase developed by *Raymond Irving*, the MODX team, and its contributors.

In its later years under MODX, development and releases were already being led by the team that subsequently formed the **Evolution CMS Project**,
including *Dmytro Lukianenko*. In 2016, MODX transferred stewardship of Evolution to that team, and in April 2017 formally recognized **Evolution CMS** as an independent project under its existing leadership.

Development has continued in `evolution-cms/evolution` as the direct continuation of MODX Evolution, maintained by *Dmytro Lukianenko*, *Serhii Korneliuk*,
and the Evolution CMS core team and contributors. The former `modxcms/evolution` repository was later archived on Mar 9, 2021 and is now read-only.

Other repositories derived from Evolution CMS are independent downstream forks or distributions and do not represent the project lineage established by the MODX Evolution team.
