This thread really peaked my interest ...

What would be an additional important figure is, how long has it been

Plus, what type of vulnerability. Plus, for what branch of the

different).
You are right but all that requires a lot more time to investigate which
I currently don't have.
But in any case it's hard to argue with 7 (fudforum) vs. 723 (phpBB).
The phpBB site had an explanation - serious errors version 2.
They also had version 3 audited for security ...
What we do need is a forum that matches our needs; actually pretty
basic, but maybe for having good admin features, excellent
hackability, extensability, being well documented, having a nice
community of developers around it.
Agreed and I'd say that all of the FOSS packages I listed generally
fulfill these criteria (each with their own strong points).
So, requirement #1: open source license (as in http://opensource.org/ ).
Well out of the ones I listed that is:
phpBB - GPL
myBB - GPL
FUDforum - GPL
this page is also quite useful:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software_(PHP)
I was actually doing this comparison not primarily for the future
Mageia forum, but because I'm looking for a good forum software for a
personal project.
I had mostly decided to take myBB since it has a very good reputation
and is considered relatively secure (and this check I did confirms
that), but since I discovered FUDforum a few days ago and tested it on
the weekend I have now decided that FUDforum is the ideal choice for me
(and IMHO also for the Mageia forum).
To me, the translations available, and their quality, are important
factors for forum software.
The phpBB presentation on their site looks good, and they have a lot of
translations available - as plugins.
But the FUDforum site - and the translations available - is really
impressive.
Many languages are available out-of-the-box, and many more can be added.
Also, translations can be readily created - or corrected - which is a
big plus, as we won't be dependant on others to correct simple
translation errors, or add new translations.
I don't know the features in detail, but from the presentation on the
respective sites, I would also choose FUDforum for Mageia.
My 2 cents
