Would someone take a quick look at the SMF license to see if it meets the project's minimum requirements or not:
"Any Distribution of a Modified Package or derivative requires express written consent from Simple Machines LLC" turns me off a bit. http://cmsreport.com/node/1777 has some more information about that.
"Any Distribution of this Package, whether as a Modified Package or not, requires express written consent from Simple Machines LLC." doesn't really sound better.
At least then we can either tick a box or eliminate one possibility taking a little step closer to a solution :)
I don't like the license :)
I don't like it either - that's why I raised it. Is it a show stopper discounting SMF from further consideration or is it something we can still work with (the license) and keep it on the shortlist? No point doing a lot of ldap integration work or whatever to only find out down the line the license isn't tolerable.
Requirements:
<snip> > - Must address the specific requirements raised by the present > www.centos.org forum users ( Can you please fill this section in ? ) This is a task I can do. Where/how would you like the information?
Why not here in this thread first?
Here is a summary of issues raised by forum users so far:
*Major* - Persistent logins (users currently have to re-login every 24h) - The remember me, keep cookie for 1 year option looks broken (relates to point 1 above and is presumably a xoops issue) - View/jump to first unread post within thread feature - Remember read/unread posts across multiple PCs/logins (per user, not per machine) - Ability for users to change/edit their registered email address. - Better management of subscribed threads
*Minor* - Thank User button/feature - Quick links feature
I'm guessing this list is fairly final as no new issues have been raised for quite a while now in the forum feedback thread. For reference, the thread may be found here:
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14921&forum=1...
My understanding is that most all modern forums software caters to these requirements - users are just asking for the features/usability they are accustomed to elsewhere, nothing out of the ordinary, but that is missing from the current xoops solution.
