It is some kind of joke. Vaporware. It doesn't take two fucking years for what amounts to an advanced downloads system!

Yeah... Even then, what could possibly stop them from using Aeva Media, and kindly asking me & Dragooon to forfeit our copyright notice for them...? I would certainly consider it.
At least they'd get a decent system up and running in a few days...

*shrug*

I find it hilarious that they're using smCore which is far from ready, and it has to interoperate with SMF itself. Good luck with that.

Or maybe it's just her way of saying, "We'll never do it"...

Or, worse, her way of saying that they grossly underestimate the time needed to finish smCore... Heck, even we underestimated the time needed for Wedge to be 'clean' by over a year...

Given the progress of smCore which can be judged by the age of posts on smcore.org, it's really a LONG way away. I doubt they'll thank me for pointing this out, though, no doubt I'm causing drama again.

Quote from IchBin
While it may be true that it'll probably be a couple of years before we will see a smCore/SMF3 release. smCore will be ready before that, and it will be used in more than just the SMF release.
So first they have to get smCore usable, then build the customisation site on top of that, to interoperate with what will by then be SMF 2.1. Is it only me that sees all the problems that will occur with that?

I hope they succeed. Competition hooah~

I'll still be using Wedge of course. Makes no sense to pour my time into one board type then switch to another one.

You can understand our scepticism, though, can't you? Multiple different people have attempted to rewrite it over and over and little actually seems to have happened.
