			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[[b]This topic is to get an idea of what people want from FluxBB and how we can achieve this, we welcome any reasonable comments, but unreasonable posts will be removed[/b]

[b]This is simply a proposal at the moment and is not by any means definite as to what we are going to do.[/b]

[b]This topic is based on discussion between me and Elbekko, we both think this is a good idea but we wanted to bring it to public discussion for more input.[/b]

First of all I want to say I know a large number of people are unhappy with the way things are going right now, and so am I. I believe something needs to change, and so I am going to outline what I think would be the best approach for the future of FluxBB.

The current 1.3 branch has developed far past a subversion and is obviously really version 2.0 and I think we should rename it to that. I also think there are a number of ideas that have not been included in 1.3 yet which are important (a templating system of some form, subforums/no categories mode, etc). Therefore I think we should rename 1.3 to 2.0 and delay the release of its beta for a number of months, this will give the PHP developers time to change things and Paul time to definitely finalise the markup. It would also relieve a lot of pressure on us and mean we can work on a decent release and not a rushed one. I realise this may be unpopular with some people, but I believe in a years time it will be better for everyone.

The second half of my proposal is that we continue to develop the 1.2 branch into what the 1.3 version should have been, in order to relieve some confusion I suggest we name it 1.4. This version would keep the general style of 1.2 and be in the spirit of 1.2, but it would include features from the current 1.3, such as UTF-8 support. This would be worked on immediately and released in a reasonable timeframe, and would try to maintain maximum compatibility with 1.2 styles and mods (obviously some minor changes may be required).

To summarise the timeline I am suggesting is
[list=*]
[*]1st Quarter 2009, Release 1.4 beta and then 1.4 full release which is a direct upgrade from 1.2 with various features such as UTF-8 support, however missing extension support or templating system.[/*]
[*]2nd-3rd Quarter 2009 Release 2.0 Beta/RC which would be the developed version of what we now have as 1.3, this would feature 1.3s extension system, some form of templates and other improvements to 1.3 we thought of after we stopped developing features[/*]
[*]3rd-4th Quarter 2009 Release 2.0 Final[/*]
[*]2010-onwards Support both the 1.x and 2.x branch on the site, continued development on both, with 1.x being in the spirit and style of 1.2 as a lightweight forum, and 2.x being a lightweight but extendible forum[/*]

======================================================

Bonjours a tous, je vous parles au nom des français, très nombreux a utiliser FluxBB, j'aimerai faire passer un message au développeur de la prochaine version (1.3), ceux qui travaillent pour la version béta3, release candidate et finale.

Nous sommes conscients qu'on ne peux pas sortir un produit instable mais cela dit nous trouvons quand même que le développement de FluxBB1.3 est trop long, en effet il n'y a pratiquement aucun avançement, vous savez comme moi qu'on ne peux pas faire un script parfait, il y aura toujours des "petits" bugs, des "correctifs" a faire, quelque soit le script, il y aura toujours des mises a jours même une fois la version finale sortie c'est pour ça qu'il ne faut pas attendre que votre script soit parfait car vous n'y arriverai pas (comme n'importe quel script c'est normale qu'il y ai des petites failles qu'on remarque au fur et a mesure dans le temps...)

Au nom de tous les francophones qui utilisent FluxBB1.3, nous demandons aux développeurs de FluxBB1.3 d'accélérer le rythme si possible et de pouvoir sortir la version finale cette année 2009 (chose qui est impossible si vous continuez au même rythme...)

Merci d'avance;


In english (google translate so bad translate) :
=================================

Hi all, I speak on behalf of the French, many use a FluxBB I'd like to convey a message to the developer of the next version (1.3), those working for the beta3, and final release candidate.

We are aware that we can not go out a volatile but said there is still the development of FluxBB1.3 is too long, in fact there is virtually no ANAC, you know as I do that can not make a perfect script, there will always be "small" bugs, "patches" to do whatever the script, there will always be made a day after the final output that is why 'we should not wait until your script is perfect because you do not (like any normal script is that there have small flaws that remark as a measure in time. ..)

On behalf of all who use French FluxBB1.3, we ask developers to FluxBB1.3 to accelerate the pace if possible and to get the final version this year 2009 (which is impossible if you continue at the same pace .. .)]]></summary>

I'm looking at creating a part of the site where anyone can edit language files and download current revisions online [url]http://fluxbb.org/translate/[/url] (like a wiki for translating), its still very much a work in process so if its broken I'm probably working on it, but atm it lets admins import language files, and add languages, and you can view the current translations, I'm working on letting users edit the languages now.

Any comments/suggestions (do you think this is a good idea?)

Also if this is successful, it can be easily extended to let extension language files be uploaded and translated by anyone.]]></summary>

			<link rel="alternate" href="http://fluxbb.org/forums/topic/2379/the-best-way-to-get-involved-is-to-get-involved/new/posts/"/>
			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Seems like a contradiction, right? It's true though: the best way to get started with an open source project is to become involved in the project, contributing in various ways. People who code can submit patches for bugs/feature requests (or develop extensions), others can provide documentation, support, internationalization, feedback on ideas, etc. That's exactly how I got started with PunBB: I played around with the software, started doing support, and eventually went on to provide various patches for security vulnerabilities (and then I became a developer).

Obviously, a lot of people are upset with the progress (or lack thereof) of FluxBB. However, as the developers keep saying, complaints at this point serve only to discourage them from continuing to code. So, instead, I would be interested in talking with people who are willing to "step up to the plate" (so to speak) and contribute to developing the next generation of the forum software they love so much. I've already been in contact with a few people and what I've heard is very promising. However, better quality software can't be developed without more contributors.

So, if you're interested, let me know! If you have the desire to contribute, you have the ability to contribute; drop me an email or post here and let me know what your skills are and what you are interested in doing. Even if you can't code or write markup, there are plenty of things for you to do. If you're an active PunBB/FluxBB member, be sure to say so!

For coders/web designers, samples of work would be much appreciated. Resumes are nice, but they don't really give the same sense of what people are actually capable of. :)]]></summary>

I mean, it have been no development at all for two weeks in trac on [url=http://www.fluxbb.org]www.fluxbb.org[/url]. Is FluxBB dead already? :/

Please understand me the right way. I know all developers are doing this at free will and on their spare time, but once you commit to something, you should stick with it, leave it, or delegate it to someone else, right?

So basicly, my question is if FluxBB is worth waiting for and what are your plans for FluxBB in the future? Whats beyond 1.3 if it's ever released?

Edit: Fixed "FluxxBB" to "FluxBB" in subject.]]></summary>

why? as time passes I have more and more changes to .css and if I can just deselection them in my manifest.xml and one-click install them my life would be easier I think.

			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Noob here. I searched and didn't find a thread about this.

I'm running 1.3 Beta 2 but this board seems to have:
- larger setting for oxygen (so i changed it in the css)
- RSS here is the orange button at the bottom of the board, whereas on 1.3B2 it's on the topic name bar.
- breadcrumb and bullet used to identify stick/closed... seem to be slightly different.

Sorry if it's been asked before.

I like the idea of having extensions so i'm going to hang-in with FluxBB. I'm sick of doing PHP merges....

Kudos to the guy who's doing the css - anxious to start modding a new style as i kinda miss the denser yet less cluttered look of the 1.2.X styles.]]></summary>

I still plan to hang around, of course: FluxBB is one of my favorite pieces of software and given all the time I've spent working on it, it wouldn't feel right to just abandon it. :)
I'll be in the forums answering questions. I'll still be running PunBB-Hosting. I'll be available if anyone has any coding jobs or questions that need my expertise: just send me an email via the forums. However, I won't be contributing directly to the coding of 1.3.

It has been my pleasure to work on FluxBB/PunBB for the past few years, and I would like to thank everyone who has made that possible, from the developers I've worked with to the users who have embraced FluxBB/PunBB and used it on their site. FluxBB/PunBB was one of the first projects I worked with when I was learning PHP, and it has been my pleasure to help develop it.]]></summary>
