Re: Future Of Icy Phoenix
Maybe we could just talk about the future of IP and how we see it, don't we ?
Because I know there is topics talking about the core code, evolutions, etc ... but there's nothing talking about " How IP looks like for us " or something like that.
Because,
IMHO, Icy Phoenix is certainly the best bridge between a CMS and a board and provide many things that other communities like phpBB 2x or CH never provided. BUT, besides that, I think we would be right to say that Icy Phoenix is " just " another " big " " premodd " or phpBB 2x ( don't rage now and read until the end ^^' ).
What I mean is that, yes, IP adds many features to phpBB 2x, add some phpBB 3x features too, and many many other things which do that I still prefer this CMS to others one but some part of the code / ideas / mods seems to be a bit far of the core CMS, I mean that there is some thing implemented but that aren't linked to each others !
I can give some examples : Cash, which is a great mod in my opinion, but which also could be improved by being linked wich groups / permissions / ranks ( I try to work on that x) ). It's the first which come to my mind but it's not the one.
From my point of view, we could consider that the best way to develop something is to improve his features AND keep it simple to use.
Well . . . Sorry but I think I lost my brain I don't really know what I wanna say ... Just for sum up, it would be great to improve the flexibility of IP and the idea to do a " core IP " with a plugins system is a very good idea which is worth to work on this way.
