I think a good fusion (pardon the pun) of Galleon's backend with a frontend like rinium would be a great mix. It gives those forum-folk (The ones into the smilies and avatars and whatever) the UI they're used to, with the design work ray put into galleon. Perhaps that's where open source efforts should be dedicated, since it furthers both products in a way.
my $0.02 dov -----Original Message----- From: Joe Rinehart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 2:05 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Open source forum I think Ray's is spot-on for something that is widely applicable. It may not have all of the features someone could want, but it makes up for that by providing an excellent foundation on which to build those features. In a professional environment where I may need to add forum capabilities, I wouldn't want something with PMs, emoticons, avatars, etc. Galleon gives me a product that is guaranteed to not be *more* than I need (which is often worse than having less than you need!), tested, and pretty secure (I've tried to break into it using the same techniques I've used to exploit other message boards to no avail). It's definitely worth checking out the alternative you've suggested, especially if its features suit someone's needs - but outright dismissing Galleon isn't a good idea. -Joe On 12/11/05, Snake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Take a look, I think you will see the difference. > Ray's is TOO basic. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Sean Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 11 December 2005 23:52 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Open source forum > > On 12/11/05, Snake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > One thing that has always been lacking for CF is a decent forums > > product, especially a free one. > > Ray Camden's "Galleon" forums? > -- > Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Got frameworks? > > "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." > -- Margaret Atwood > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
