Hello XOOPS users,

By browsing the web I found http://www.xoopsforge.com/ which offers CBB 3.x (promising to be an enhanced development of newbb2.x)

I havent heard anything yet from this new version. Also the download counter on

http://dev.xoops.org/modules/xfmod/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1001&release_id=1112#selected

shows that only 109 people downloaded it.

1) Is the new "maintainer" of newbb alias CBB doing this alone or will this be the "official" next version of the original newbb module ?

I am somehow confused as I didnt find any official announcement on http://www.xooops.org regarding the download.


2) Dows anybody who already used CBB3.x experienced any issues ?

3) I read that its possible to upgrade to CBB3.x , but I am somehow hesitating if this is currently developed only by a single user, which even dont announce the new versions properly. I dont want to upgrade now to hear in 3-6 months that somehow its not an official branch and downgrading is not possible ;-(.

4) Also when looking at http://dev.xoops.org user "andersa" is suggesting to post at http://xoopsforge.com while actually the development should take place at dev.xoops.org.
Whats going on, are there any discrepancies within the project ?


Any feedback is appreciated.

Best regards

For more info on the development of Newbb/Cbb read this:

I have been using CBB for some time and recently upgraded to 3.05 and have been very pleased.

Thank you for the reply. The threat you mentioned above describes at least some concerns EXACTLY as I have them.

1) CBB doesnt seem to work yet with the original themes.
2) Moderation issue seems to be a bit unclear.

I would even add:

3) Project manager doesnt seem to have enough experience yet (only 6-24 mnoths - Want to Learn). I believe that the newbb project is one of the advanced modules, so I have a feeling that "Want to Learn" is not the right skill set to approach it.

4) Development should take place on http://dev.xoops.org and NOT http://xoopsforge.com. http://dev.xoops.org has been the place to go for years why changeing that to xoopsforge.com ? Is that REALLY necessary ?


Thats my 0.02$.
