Even though it is GPL I still like Xaraya.

In the footer, what does it look like if you just use the image (wedges) no text? I ask because it would be nice to know how it "feels" representing the brand alone.

Not that many of you would take anything from Microsoft (or there researchers) for a grain of salt. That said this is worth reading and while it is talking about computer and network security web security when you get down to it isn't so different in this prospective.

To boil it down for the lazy. It basically says what Pete is saying, allot of security is a waste, because it doesn't really protect you. It says way more then that :-P but you get the point.

Nice! I absolutely love hearing that  :cool:

And maybe I'm being blind, but where do I download the wedge forum software? I can't seem to find it on this site and I'd like to run a test installation.
It is not out yet, I would highly recommend reading the FAQ board.

I think threaded view has a place, and some forums absolutely swear by it. You can also tell which users regularly use threaded-view sites when visiting a flat-view forum.

I'm not sure there isn't a place for threading in Wedge, but I'm not sure there is either, really. Needs more work, I think.
Sure, I wasn't saying otherwise. I just don't like it when someone tries to talk for everyone ;)

Almost wonder if wiki + threaded discussion would work better for others. Forums can't do everything ;)

In the research boards I have admined we hate threaded view, much rather use boards and sub boards to and different topics to keep research organized, with footnotes tagging content and linking to related research could not be easier (well it could be a little easier, however it works.)

I voted for skins, not because other systems use it but because it describes what your doing more closely.

Plugins / [Naming poll] Re: Packages

I like add-on because at this time, I would not say that the forum is modular in nature. To me Module would lean towards there being a basic core, and every real function would be a module (some might be core modules, but modules none the less.

Then again, I think plug-ins, add-on's, and modules are all vastly different things.

Plug-in: Normal a minor feature, might be added within an theme, skin, add-on, or module.
Add-on: A feature of any size that adds function to other parts of the system.
Module: A stand alone feature, that feature may hook, or otherwise interact with core, modules, add-ons, and or plug-ins.

To give this some examples, if SMF/Wedge where more modular in nature:

Core: Users/Roles/Base Permissions/Themes/Modules (the module for Modules)/Blocks/Authentication/Anything that would be common to almost all developments

Modules: Forum/Gallery(Which may be several modules in a modular setup)/Calendar/Stats/Helpdesk/Profiles/Social/Foot Notes/The list goes on

Add-ons: In a modular setup add-ons don't have a need to exist, they are either a template thing, a plug-in or a module

Plug-in: Editor/Only one I can think off off the top of my head.

Anyway I like Add-ons and voted that way :-P

-sigh-

A front page would not be the same as a portal. It would be a front page, and customisable but still JUST a front page...
Thanks for understanding what I meant :)

The template overrides is more so a person could mix blocks and their own content (be it ssi, api’s to other software, plain text.)

I've actually raised this very thing myself because I actually need to implement this for InI...
My idea thoughts are based on needs and off some of yours and Bloc's comments about portals.
