Correct if wrong, but I got the impression that it's still being worked on. I'm liaising with Doctormo, and Jabier to try and integrate the visual stylings of the new forum with our current website. If it's true that we're going back into a state of limbo do tell me so I don't do extra work for nothing! :)
Thanks. -C

Hi Friends, As I mentioned a couple of months ago, I've lost my patience over this whole "new forum" issue.
I've been given the impression that we're (as a community) goingback into limbo with the forum situation, and holding our breath that there are no more black eyes resulting from the lack of (effective) management of InkscapeForum.com.
I don't understand why. Why risk yet another black eye? Do mostpeople just not realize everything that's happened due to the lack of effective management, over the years? Or everything that could still happen? Shall I elaborate? Or maybe most people just don't care, since they don't use forums anyway?
What yet needs to be done to make the new forum live and close theold one? To me, it has all the features it needs. As far as I know, the only thing that's still needed is load testing (lots of users at the same time).
If we can start it within 6 months, I'd like to propose that wemake a concrete plan (as much as possible, given that this community doesn't function well with deadlines). Of course I'd be glad to help create such a plan.
If it requires more than 6 months more work, I would proposeinstalling a php forum (SMF or phpBB) and start it right away. Then some day, if the Django-integrated forum is ever ready, we can switch over to it.
Thanks for any clarity on this issue.All best, brynn
