Goals have been reached for version number change, but there are a few things we can work on before moving the branch into live.

---

Hello Developers,

I figured I should post my short term roadmap I have in mind for ABII's code base. Epele has been doing a lot of little things to help out, so we're moving forward for sure.

I figure for 2.5.1 we would make the roadmap dead simple; to reach .1, one of two juxtaposed feature sets must be reached. They are juxtaposed in that one is a forward looking, and the other is legacy.

Criteria 1: Group and Permissions Manager/Editor (Mostly complete)

This is an important one. While we will be able to make due with SQL and the foundation lib/manual control system (ie: whateveritis.php?something=5&anotherthing=23) we really should implement it. This would allow us to really have a release version any time we would like. (Not saying that'll be soon but remember an underlining goal is to make ABII an open source project, once it is more user friendly) Personally I think this is a task would better tackled by DJ Bouche and knuck, but that doesn't mean we have to wait for them to work on it either.

Criteria 2: Any remaining Legacy ABI features not currently ported and Key bugfixes/features

This one is a bit easier to do as it's not one giant feature, but a bunch of little ones. I know knuck mostly built, but lose a post radar system. Hopefully he can rebuild what he had ( knuck?)

Legacy ABI (2/3)
*Photo Albums
*Post Radar (accepted by: knuck)
*Readd an All Staff sort to the member list (ABII feature)

Bug Fixes/MISC (4/6)
*Make sure announcements can't be forum ignored
*New forums currently start marked unread. Have them start read
*Using GFX Lib to show Number of new Post on index.php
*Update the FAQ from scratch. We have many more features now! (Well this is going to happen anyway)
*Fix the bug that shows forum names if they are accessed directly on forum.php via forum ID number. PRIORITY (see here)
*Fix whatever method was used by LordTrevor is post in a private forum. PRIORITY(here)

Optional, but I'd like to see it... (0/2)
*Show when something has been edited "like New does but "Updated" or "Edit" "
*Show "NEW/EDITED" on Announcements (see NEW! marker for announcements)

Total: (6/11)

If one of the two is met I will change the version number to 2.5.1, and the remaining goal list will be moved into 2.5.2's list.

This should give us a smaller, more manageable set of goals to accomplish.

Please check off any of these items here and in the main TODO when you complete one... don't want to have too much more of a list-mess than we already do.
