Because 2.0 will not be simply a continuation of the 1.3 development.

Basically, you shouldn't be including index.php, it outputs full pages. What are you actually trying to do?

Is it really worth it xable, css files are generally cached.

Fulltext isn't the best for everyone, and only works on mysql (and possibly postgresql).

The exact feature list for 2.0 will be discussed later, we can't say right now simply because we haven't decided.

Smartys is not back, he has just been developing the code for 1.4 by himself and is contributing the code rather than releasing it separately.

Your post is completely out of line, in my opinion, shedrock, I fight for this project every day in this forum, if I am not committed then I don't know who is. Do you not see that the entire point of this decision is to make things run more smoothly in future? As for setting dates for release, it simply does not work, we can't guarantee our time, setting dates just causes disappointment when we miss them, which is what we have seen already. What we are opting for is a much more structured roadmap which makes our aims clear and achievable.

Also, just to note, we will let you know when the site is ready to translate, it currently isn't but we're working on it.

zh and zh-tw? I'm not sure whats the correct ones to use.

dstroma, I realise it seems like this, but the truth is we haven't been happy with 1.3 for quite a long time, and it seemed ridiculous to keep waiting for the final CSS/Markup when this wasn't going to fix our underlying issues with the code.

Say we did get the final CSS and markup today, we'd probably be a month away from a final release, which we wouldn't be happy with, at that point we either choose to live with it for a few years (probably at the cost of losing some of our best people), or try to replace 1.3 almost straight away. We know as soon as we start developing the next version the previous one will be largely ignored by the community (look at mods for 1.2). So we think in a couple of years time this decision will have been for the best.

There aren't new developers for 1.4, Smartys is doing the majority of the work, and you can see the people who have joined the FluxBB Team here its up to them what they work on, some have expressed interest in 2.0 but I'm sure enough people will be contributing to 1.4 to keep it going.

Probably not, it would require every link in every file changing.

Go use PunBB then, we can't please everyone, we're doing what we think is best, we gave opportunity for discussion, we took comments on board, if you don't like what we're doing, use different software.
