I think "we" should be interested in alternatives. A "WebsiteVer2" should be a big deal. A great "look". Hell, even a "marketing tool". So far, is it more than a forum conversion?
You seem confused, and I think also need to actually go through whats been said and about what.
You're right, of course, so I did, starting with this thread.
The bit that you seem to have read and completely missed out is that were not interested in what software is going to be used - lets focus on what needs to be done, built around some user stories and then see what software meets the requirements.
Yes, I agree to those points and didn't "miss" them. The scope described above makes sense.
The brain-dead idea that we seem to live with, often, in the open source world is to shoehorn a user experience into the software-of-the-day. Lets not try and go down that route.
OK. The following bit gives the impression, however, that such a route has been partly "mapped out": On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 1:58 AM, Marcus Moeller mail@marcus-moeller.de wrote:
I guess the question is not about which software should be used. There has been an evaluation process in the past: http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/forums
and migration scripts from new-bb to phpbb are already available and ready for testing: http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/forums/newbb_to_phpbb
Blech! Now I see - I interpreted the existence of "migration scripts" to mean that phpBB was decided as the forum platform, however they are there for the eval process also.
Sorry for the noise, jerry
