FWIW... Looks like we won't need to do much to improve the forums. Hopefully.

Please forward this to other members of your team as needed. The SourceForge.net team has been working for the past few months to expand and refine our feature offering. The Hosted Apps offering, launched last September, has been expanded to include new apps, and is continuing to have a strong rate of adoption among projects. To best serve the needs of our community, we are electing to eliminate some of the older site-integrated features in lieu of more viable replacements we've launched as Hosted Apps. These old features will be dropped after data migration occurs, on a date to be announced later (at least 30 days from now). Eliminating these crufty, less-capable built-in applications will allow us to focus our efforts on providing great service to our projects, and ensure their needs are met. We will provide an easy-to-use migration path to move the data to the provided replacements. We will also provide dumps of this data in case projects want to do something different with their data. Additional information on how to obtain or migrate your data will be provided when the timeline is announced, in a future mailing. The following applications are due to be deprecated, replaced by high-quality Open Source applications we have in our Hosted Apps offering: * TaskManager will be replaced by TaskFreak!, dotProject and Trac (tickets). * DocManager will be replaced by MediaWiki and Trac (wiki). * Discussion Forums will be replaced by phpBB. * Diary and Notes will be replaced by WordPress. To solicit your feedback on how the migration should be handled, and alternate options you would like us to consider, we are running a survey for the next 30 days for the user base of each of these applications. For links to the surveys, please see our Site Status post at: http://tinyurl.com/q3g8o3 If you have questions or concerns, please contact our Support team at: http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Support Thank you, The SourceForge.net team ---------------------------------------------------------------------- These mailing are sent to all Project administrators of record, regardless of Opt-in settings.
