Thanks for the warm comments, as far as code poking goes the code as under GPL, so any GPL 'rules' apply. But since afaik phpBB is under GPL as well I don't see any possible problems. |

Well, there are some counter points to this. FUDforum is a bulletin board application and all of it's components are specifically tuned for that specific task. Meaning that as far as importing data into FUDforum no wrapper or general perpouse application would be faster. If it is faster it simple means FUDforum code needs some tunning... |

Procmail is a versetile tool that I recommend, but ultimately the script itself will accept data from ANY other app as long as the complete message (header + body) are piped to it. So, to make a cron process or something else would be a trivial hack for almost anyone. New features are implemented on request, so I see no reason to add something that would be used by a dosen users and have no use for the rest of FUDforum users. Therefor, new things appears generally because either people make a strong case for such features/additions or I think such a feature would be of use. |
