NYCPHP Meetup

[Greg Rundlett]

In my experience, fudforum <http://fudforum.org> is a better forum software 
than phpBB, and the main author is a PEAR member who has many code 
contributions to open source beyond fudforum. And, he (Ilya Alshanetsky) is 
also security conscious so that is a primary requirement of fudforum.

I haven't used it in a while, so I just downloaded it again and checked the 
source to see if it's Object Oriented. I can't be sure because the download 
only includes an installer, which apparently bootstraps the download of the 
software. That seems fine, however one major concern that I have is that 
there is binary content in the installer. I posed a question on the site to 
find out what it is, and how they could license it under the GPL if the 
installer itself is part binary.

Until that is clarified, I guess I would suggest NOT using it.
