Requirements

• Camino-like skin, and can't cause designers too much trouble getting there
• Simple, common, HTML-like syntax for links, bold, lists, etc.
• Post preview
• Private messaging
• Feed-generation ability
• Spam-resistant registration
• Decent search

Options

phpBB

Vanilla

Evaluation

• Pros:
  • foo
• Cons:
  • bar

Skin

• Needs a Camino-like skin
  • The color differentiation between discussions with new content and those without needs to be stronger (at least on the "All Discussions" flat page) (too many light pastels)
• Move "Start a New Discussion" link next to "All Discussions" (on the flat page) / "Categories" / "Category Name"

  That's where it is in the existing forum, and I find myself not noticing it in the lefthand sidebar

• Posting page needs links to BBCode and Markdown syntax references

  Not everyone will be familiar with these already (i.e., new Camino users, first time to the forum)

Function

• BBCode lists work fine in the preview but are broken in the actual post (only the first item is converted into a list item); see this post, "How do I know what processor..." section)
• How do we do PM? froodian turned on “whispers” but neither of us can find how/where to do it....

Other

• Upgrade to the current version
