Ok, guys.

I know you're there, so I'm calling for your help :)

What bulletin board (aka "forum") script would you suggest?

I first thought of vanilla or bbpress, but I think now that probably a 
stronger categorization would be better, so I may go for punbb, but someone 
told me it is a bit "unsafe" to exploits :/

So, what? It needs to be free and i must validate xhtml. Please, no SMF 
(simplemachines), their non-FLOSS license bugs me a little; that's more 
freeware than opensource :/

I'd still go for punbb, but I'm open to suggestion. Please answer quickly if 
you want the forum to be up soon.

note:
we have already a wiki (it is still non-official) http://wiki.flatpress.org
I'm setting up a new home too but is still not ready 
http://www.flatpress.org/home/

You can give suggestions on these as well

I hope to read from you soon :)

bye

I suggest you PunBB. It is really great. It's fast, clean and I donno what else but I like it :)

I donno about security issues but I know that quite a few updates are security-related. As soon as a vulnerability is discovered it is fixed with a new release.

However, there will be a new, bigger release hopefully soon, 1.3, which will include a lot of changes, the first to mention is full utf8 support everywhere.

Anyway, utf8 is also possible right now, I setted up a test environment here:
http://viktor.podzone.org:8080/upload/
It uses utf8, I just had to convert the translation files (I'm punbb's translator :P) to unicode and voila, it works.

Well that would be needed, if forum is international we should support as 
many languages as we could, even though I can't read nor Chinese nor Russian 
:D

Does this mean db is utf8 as well? :/

i dont think so. i use sqlite, and phpinfo shows me:
SQLite Encoding 	iso8859

off: i tried to unsubscribe with my old mail address and subscribe with this new one, but no confirmation emails nor effects yet.

Hm, that's not good, then, it would mean it would display funky chars when 
iso collides with utf, and this means almost everything which is not part of 
ascii

I've subscribed you manually, see if it works (PS: please do not CC, I'm 
receiving twice the same message and I have to approve one and discard the 
other :P)

BTW: I forgot to say I might consider choosing a test build of PunBB 1.3, ho 
much unstable is it?

Also I didn't say in my first mail I like Vanilla, too, and some people 
suggested it as well, but I'm not sure if it would work for a community of a 
software project; I see it more for a general discussion group

i don't know, haven't tried it yet but u can check it here:
http://dev.punbb.org/report/3

anyway, my prev. 2 mails were not duplicates, the one u didn't approve contained:

"in my prev. mail i said the db is not yet utf8. but afaik they want to achieve this in 1.3. my current 1.2 board is just hacked by me to display hungarian accents correctly."

sorry, then. the first showed as there were CC fields compiled so I thought 
the same of the others ;)
