+Hi,
+
+We were prepared from start to have things to code for the forums.
+
+That's also why a true opensource engine was absolutely needed.
+
+That mean that we will not completely avoid to code some mods.
+
+For security and troll control/containment/education we already knew
+
+For mailing-lists bidge the need is something that we did not anticipate
+but this feature is not likely to change all that's been done :
+-- this feature is cool and that would be stupid to reject it ihmo
+-- but it's not a blocking one
+-- we lived long without it (and we can live a little bit longer till
+it's added)
+
+We are starting with a basic forum (with a slightly nicer skin than the
+default
+and a few mods and lang packs )
+
+We have set up a low level infrastructure with git and other tools to be
+able to hack
+the missing features without without risking to break things or impair
+user experience.
+
+Once tested and approved feature will naturally end in the forum
+(hopefully without issue at all).
+
+The difference is only : we have one more feature to hack than that we
+could anticipate :)

+That could also be a from-scratch developement (and i don't dismiss the
+option to take parts of fudforum gateway)
+
+Obviously if someone (generous, noble, brilliant and skilled with php
+^^) volunteers to help on that part he/she will be most welcome :)
+
+All the best,
