Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] users complaints about lack of support

[Joel K. <jo...@kl...>]

I think the best compromise is to add phpBB2 with phpWS.  Users will only 
have to create one login for the phpWS site and it will work on the forums 
as well.  No need to mess with sourceforge for the simple types.  Whenever 
you check the phpWS site, you can drop by the forums and see if there are 
any questions that need to be answered.  It's not like you have to sit on 
refresh.  Surely once per day would be enough?  I even believe there's a 
mod that will allow someone to be emailed with every new thread/post if 
they wish to receive it, a la mailing lists.

It would be a good exercise to integrate the two as well anyway.  Of 
course, were that route taken, I would strongly recommend keeping the 
integration at data share only and not mess with full phpBB2 code 
integration  (which is a pain to modify when a new phpBB2 version comes out).

Just a thought.

Joel
