+!Roadmap |
+This roadmap is loosely being pursued, and is also a place for developers to list things they would be interested in contributing to. Please do not add to this list if you are not a developer and can not contribute code. If you have a feature idea just post it to the comments |
+ |
+* Completely modularize the mailman hooks so that mailman is not a requirement |
+* Develop native mail handing using ((SwitchboardPackage)) |
+* Wire to support subboards like phpbb |
+* Rework portion of Topic list queries which gets count of posts in topic, the subselect is slow |
