We've talked about this before, but not seriously. So let's get serious.
I want to build a message board. I see lots of spinoff communities and they're all built on the same Japanese PHP dogshit. I could build a superior one myself in literally a weekend but a message board alone isn't much fun without a community. So why don't we just roll our own?
There's any number of reasons why you should:
Because it's something to do.
Because you like to program.
Because you need experience working with a team.
Because you it's something to add to your portfolio.
Because /prog/ is shit.
Here's what I have in mind:
Lightweight.
Clean interface.
No registration required.
I'm open to adding any features you want to suggest: forced anon, users, images, polls, whatever. Just as long as each feature can switched on or off. The idea is that each dev should be able to customize it to their needs.
Any ideas?
