Maybe it should be possible to put the configuration file outside of the web directory?

We're already going to use namespaces in php-utf8 so why not use that in FluxBB too and keep class names as short as possible and not use underscores in them (you don't need prefixes with namespaces). And what about keeping namespace names lowercase? It's easier to type.

I agree with method names. It's standard now, but I actually prefer names with underscores.

Braces for classes and functions should be on their own line. Like this:

class Stuff
{
    public function bleep()
    {
         // noop
    }
}

And I would go for tabs. I always use those.

Loading everything at once is not a good idea. You don't all of the functions of the library so that would cause a lot of overhead. Look at the list of functions here: http://php-utf8.61924.nl/documentation.html

The core functions are loaded by default (see list for core functions). And maybe trim too, since that one is also used often. The others are not used that often.

1. A shorthand (_) is the standard when using Gettext.

2. I don't know what we decided neither. But I would go with key-based, becuase you won't end up with huge strings in your code and it would look a bit cleaner that way.

// TODO: How could we automatically regenerate these cache files when necessary? 
(E.g. imagine the default language files being replaced during a new release, the custom 
translations haven't caught up yet. How to handle that? etc.)

How about using some kind of version number or checksum for each language pack? The author gives a version numberm to his/her pack and is updated something is changed. The language file loader notices that because the cache file (or something in the DB maybe, dunno) has a different number and then cleans the cache.

Would be possible if the parser parses BBcode in 2 passes. First pass will parse BBcode that'll never change and the second pass will parse BBcode that could be different for each user. Then you can cache the first parsing part.

It is not similar. The person there has a 404 error, which mean a page wasn't found.

You have a 503 error, which means there went something wrong on the server. I'm not sure what's wrong. Maybe you can ask your host if they can do something, because sometimes it's the host's fault.

Can you check your error log if there's anything suspicious?

I don't see why that's not possible.

Ok.

I assume you can't to do this over IRC? Would be really awesome if we could meet somewhere and do the coding there. Not sure if people live too far away for this.

Sounds fun. Rewrite FluxBB in Python?
