Converters? A proper installer for themes and future mods

This message board system has a lot of potential. And the way I see it is that it could make a huge impact on the Joomla community if you had converters available.

Most people are novice when it comes to really running a website and it is hard to find a developer with dedication and determination.

The most important update I can see having at the moment is having a converter. A lot of people use other message board systems within their Joomla and it would be awesome to have a converter for a message board like this. I mean, most would opt out in other systems since they can get their mods with other Joomla extensions. Also this message board is more user friendly and is more clean than others I have seen.

A good installer for the design system would be the most appropriate at the moment for a future feature of this system, if it is through the main Joomla installer or if it has its own system it would be really awesome. Also with the same system it could make future updates and mods easy to install.

Thanks for the immediate feedback! Based on your design upload, I see that you are a reasonably experienced user.

Robbie, the author and primary developer of this board, has stated that the next release is targeted to be a non-beta release hopefully ver 1.0.

After he gets to this stable situation (it is very stable now although still considered beta), he very well may then entertain upgrades such as you suggested and I agree, a converter would be a very worthwhile project.

Possibly you might consider volunteering to assist the project as Robbie has posted for any volunteers to submit to him. I could find the post if you have interest.

Again, welcome aboard and glad that you like your first impressions and hope that together we all can drive this project to a truly dominant state!
