When the install script installs the forum, the files & directories it creates are owned by the webserver user & group.
Configuration files are given 666 permission to allow you to modify them without having to play with permissions.

I suspect one of the features we may want to add would be some sort of PHP file browser to allow the admin to add/remove/edit files. So the admin does not need to worry about permissions if they want to manually modify non setting files.

Another possibility is to ask the admin for their user login & password for thier account and upon completion of installation chown the files back to admin's user/group.

At this point I am not sure, which would be more convenient/useful implementation. I suspect some people may not be comfortable giving the install/upgrade script their account login/password combination.

As for the admin thing you've mentioned, DEFINATELY a good point. I'll be sure there is some in between step and/or warning before admin priveleges are stripped/added to a user, this will be in version 1.2 for sure.

P.S. When would be a good time to contact you via a telephone?
