when is when it's done, lol. i hope to have most major bugs worked out in a week or so at the latest (but this is free programming in my spare time, lol, so yeah, don't quote me)
there are a few anomalies that have cropped up, due to the port itself, so i haveta make sure i find and fix all issues.
keep in mind, this will be a stripped down version of phpbb. i've included a few extra hacks (modded the board with some small additions before i began the port), but all the extra shiznit, such as private messages, memberlist, groupcp, userprofile, etc, is all stuff that should be handled by xoops. so to make this a cleaner module, i'm stripping out anything that i think duplicates a XOOPS feature, and trying to focus on the forum part specifically.
one of my favorite 'hacks' that i installed on this phpbb, tho, is the ability to see who voted how, in a poll (from the admin menu)
anyways, i should have a useable version out in a few weeks, but it won't be *completely* ported or bugfree for a few months, i imagine (i'll have to take others onto the team to help patch bugs, create a proper XOOPS admin interface, etc)
but yeah, i wouldn't leave XOOPS anytime soon if i were you. there are some good things on the horizon, such as newbb2 (which has resumed development), xphpbbi (this project), and of course XOOPS 2.1/2.2 is looming in the near distance
