So am I, you wont' see a break tag or hr in any of my sites anymore:)
but that's not what I mean - example we tried it with
codingforums.com, but the sheer size of traffic, vanilla wouldn't
hold up to it, there's just too much information. Not saying RC will
get there but it's a nice thought.

Really? I don't doubt you but the whole point of Ajax is to

never seen a phpbb forum that I could call quick.
I'm probably caught up in semantics, but I think its a shame a
slick Web 2.0
product like RC doesn't utilise an efficient, Ajax-based BB as well.
My 2 cents,

By more powerful, I don't mean in regards to features -- I've just

phpBB handle a heavier amount of users much more easily than Vanilla.

Hmm, not sure I would agree with that. PHPbb can't handle saved
searches,
and
doesn't support RSS if I remember correctly.

just create the CSS to mimic the style of his look/feel.

Yeah, Vanilla seriously cooks with gas. You can have RSS out
the wazoo,
clean
xhtml code, and each user can have their own stylesheet!
Brett was mentioning he was in the process of building a
template for
phpbb. I
wonder if it could be ported over easily?

Hi Everyone,
Well give the people what they want I always say!
I've installed a simple forum on a domain I run to test it
out with
the
community. If we all like it and Thomas is happy, we can look
into
pointing a
subdomain towards it. Or, we can migrate it over to SF.
Either way is
cool
with me. My server has loads of bandwidth so I'm happy to
host it for
the
time being.
The system isn't based on PHPBB. I thought it fitting that since
Roundcube
was
the first major Open Source webmail system born in the Web 2.0
generation,
that the forum should be to. Its called Vanilla, and it has a
lot of
great
features as well as a great community behind it (like ours).
The forum is here: http://roundforums.verada.net
If you want more information on Vanilla, go here:
http://www.getvanilla.com/
If anyone wants to volunteer to moderate a category, feel
free to
email
me.
Any comments on the forum itself, please reply to all.
regards,
Geoffrey

Hi all.
I just want to agree that a forum would be great, it's fun
getting
mail
but...
RC is just the best.

over and
try
to
answer some CSS/XHTML/HTML/Design/PHP/MySQL questions, or
cross post
to
them, or get CSS Beauty in the mix. Either way, a forum
would be
useful.

You mentioned something about giving away space on SF for the
forum.
I'm willing to head up the forum aspect (I don't have much
on the
skin
yet, but I can work on it in my free time (would be a
pleasure!!))
and
manage it. Of course the devs would have access to
"restricted"
areas
of moderation/administration, or however you want to do
it. Just
let
me know what you need to allow me in, and I'll give it to
you! My
email on Sf is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (no quotes).
I was initially going to use roundcube.bpatterson.net as the
forum-space; but if SF wants to host it, fine by me.
Either will
work
in my honest opinion. But SF would make it look more
official.
Eagerly awaiting your reply!!

I last banged on about this last December if memory
serves, but
why
exactly is there no support forums for Roundcube yet? I
know the
developers wish to keep the mailing list going for
development
threads, but surely we all agree that mailing lists are
not the
best
vehicle for end user support?
I know there was talk of setting up a wiki, but I
haven't seen
any
sight of it yet.
The Wiki is on progress. Actually the wiki is ready but
it's part
of
a
Trac system that also hosts the source repository and
integrates a
bug-tracker. These are both not yet properly configured.
You can
start
filling up the Wiki with useful information:
http://trac.roundcube.net
but remember that the tracker and the source repository
are not
up-to-date.
I am happy to setup and host a forum, as long as there is a
consensus that it is needed. I have no desire to
splinter the
community though.
The decision to use mailing lists was made some time ago
and I
don't
like to have multiple forums that I need to check
periodically.
Anyone else agree? Or is this being worked on separately?
Geoffrey

Thomas
