RFC Process Change Suggestion

[MichaelC]

I would like to suggest that you allow people to post RFCs in the 3.1 forum. Then whatever RFC isn't implemented by the time 3.1 is released then it should be moved to the 3.2 forum. Or even have only one RFC forum so that all RFCs are being discussed as if they are going to be implemented in the next major release.

People are posting in 3.2 but their real target is 3.1 which is confusing.

+1.

Or maybe even have
- 3.x
-- 3.x Discussion
-- 3.x RFC's
--- 3.x Rejected RFC's
--- 3.x Hook RFC's
- 3.1
-- 3.1 Discussion
-- 3.1 Accepted RFC's
--- 3.1 Accepted Hook RFC's
- 3.2
-- 3.2 Discussion
-- 3.2 Accepted RFC's
Rest as previously

Then with topic icons in the 3.x RFC forum allow users to select whether it would be for 3.2 or 3.1 (should they wish, not required) if there is a reason why it should not be in 3.1

Yes, but that forum should be on phpBB.com for the reasons stated in my first post (at least until the RFC is accepted).

I agree with having one forum (well, one for 3.x and one for 4.x) and I suppose if we were to consolidate the rfc forums, it would be okay to move it to .com. However, there's the issue of transferring the existing topics.

Wouldn't have thought it would be that hard? Especially considering the people (or I'm guessing more likely Meik) know the phpBB code (probably) better than anyone else.

Re Ideastrike: Shame. Judging by the week end report here and the demo it would have been nice. Unless its hosted off-site?

Here is another Q&A/voting system written in PHP and released under GPL v2: http://question2answer.org WebPlatform.org uses it. Looks like you can vote on questions and answers underneath it. There are tags so you could categorize items.

We have a working ideas centre internally which is just being integrated with phpBB.com, one that's done it will be made public.

I look forward to it

We implemented "Ideas" on phpBB.com for that. Having to have yet another separate login was something we wanted to avoid so we really don't need that anymore. Of course the Ideas area is currently under maintenance/unavailable but it's there.
