Sigh. Yes, you are right. Unfortunately I think these are bugs in the
upgrade scripts upstream provided, so we can't do too much here.

Speaking of long-term plans with the forums, probably the source of
problems is that it's maintained by me, who is not a big fan of forums.

In case somebody want to step up as forums maintainer, I'm happy to help
him. I'm even open to migrate to an other forums engine if the new
maintainer would want that, though having the mailman gateway we
currently have would be a nice feature to keep. (And probably most
engines does not really support it.)

Objectives

  • Having a real forums maintainer
  • Keep the members accounts and all threads/posts
  • Keep the hook forum <-> mailing list


Ideas

  • Changing forums type

the only conversion from fudforums is possible with SMF, then from SMF we can convert to another type of forums

  • About the hook

The hook oblige to keep a ugly categorization (by languages)

A good categorization would be:

  • Support
    • Installation
    • Hardware & Laptops
    • Desktop Environments
    • Applications
    • Creating & Building Packages
  • Community
    • Cafe (Off-topic Discussions)
    • Artwork Contributions
    • Tips & Tricks
  • International Users
    • German
    • Hungarian
    • Italian
    • Polish
    • Slovak
    • Spanish


  • Alternative to the hook
