Just this week I heard about the Fireboard's fork project named
Kunena. Here, I am posting my very OWN view about this project. This
view is totally based on my personal experience. If I am wrong, I myself will
be very very happy. Well, I was quite interested when I heard the project
but as time pass, more inner information comes out, my hope on Kunena fades
away. Reasons -1. Though BoJ is referring Kunena, but there
is no relation between them. No BoJ's prime developers are there in the
project, except - fxstein. BoJ is just referring the 1st Fork
Project they got. BoJ is DEAD. 2. The project is lead by -
fxstein. I don't know whether its a good news or a bad
news. fxstein took - 1 years to bring FB1.0.5 from super buggy
FB1.0.4 2 years to bring FB1.0.5 RC1 from FB1.0.5 2 years to bring FB1.0.5 RC2
from FB1.0.5 RC1 ..... and finally STABLE version never came out. Same guy has
started from ALPHA version, that also for 1.0.x platform. Then for 1.5
platform, than 1.6 platform....... wondering the time-span of the Roadmap.
3. History Repeats itself. This time very BAD repetitions. 1st there was
Simple-Board, then fork to Joomla-Board, then fork to
Fireboard and now Kunena. All of them have a common thing, none
of them ever come to close to a stable version that can be used in a well
reputed site, say sites with Google Rank above 4. If your site is new or small
or low traffic, you can use any buggy system above. For stability, IPB or
vBilletin are well-known. I had a dream to make FB as powerful as VB but BoJ
and Danial broke it a long time ago.
