Louisville History & Issues — Soon to be “Discussion on Steroids”
Posted on November 18, 2008 by Steve Magruder in Citizen Assembly Board Development, Online Communities & Discussion, Project Developments & HypeOne of WebCommons’ non-profit pet projects, the local discussion board Louisville History & Issues, is becoming increasingly prominent in Louisville political and history circles, but even more interesting for discussion here, it is also becoming a highly functional (master?)piece of web software.
Louisville History & Issues (LouHI for short) is based on WebCommons’ fork of phpBB version 2 that is currently dubbed “Citizen Assembly Board” (CAB for short). CAB has been in development for several years, and has many interesting and unusual features, many not even available on the newest version 3 of phpBB. Of course it also doesn’t enjoy some of the newest features and design approach of phpBB 3, but that has its own set of pros and cons, and I will likely muse about that in a future post here.
LouHI is currently undergoing a phased release of its “Version 3″, which I am touting as the “finally useful!” version. Read about the changes in Phase 1 as well as plans for later phases after the jump.
