[GNUz] Re: New forum

[Rik Tindall]

Great job, thanks Robert.

Now, what kind of planning do we need for this?:

We have lost SFD's greatest asset, I reckon - its forum history - every 
year so far. Is this because we keep re-skinning phpbb? What better 
software/options can people please suggest?

Same for www.sfd - it changes radically every year to what purpose? Can 
we get a default framework together so that just a few jpegs with 
logo-dates are all that needs updating each new year? A picture of 
stability, continuity, and all-year service is supremely important to 
the saleability of FOSS.

But thanks for sorting it nonetheless!

See you on the clean new forum,

Cheers Rik
