Icy Phoenix

Hi all,
I'm proud to announce that Icy Phoenix has come to the final testing phase.

I've fixed some small issues I wanted to fix, I've created a couple of new templates, some new graphics and some minor functions.

I'm testing live here and on another couple of sites this version of the package which will be released as RC version in few days.

I still need to finish testing the new menu system: I've completed it at 80% and I need to test only all its features and permissions things... and complete what is missed (only minor things).

Before going live with the final release I need help in writing the documentation for this new package.

It is not the first time I ask for help for this task, which I know it is boring, not fun and requires a big amount of time, but it is almost essential.

Having a good docs package it will:

• Save much time to everyone is going to help me in supporting Icy Phoenix
  
• Save much time to users who don't know this package
  
• Save much time to me so I can keep coding instead of taking snapshots and describe actions in HTML
  
• Give professional look to the package

If anyone is interested in helping me in writing docs, please drop me a PM so I can coordinate the work between the Staff.

20 peoples writing docs may work for one week and write almost everything is needed...
One people writing docs will stop the development of the project, because if I have to write all the docs, than I have no time to code, to fix bugs and to release a final version.

So if your english is good, if you have even only a couple of hours of time, if you like this project and if you want to contribute to this open source project, please join the Docs group.

Subscriptions are open...

Thank you for your help.

Hello Might Gorgon, or Luca.
I might like to join, as I will PM you sooner or later, here is my simple experiences with Document groups.

I work and send reports for lots of CMS's and phpBB modifications, as I am the administrator of ExtremephpBB and helped with Vitrax, made my own modified board with lots of fixes (which I forgot to report out.). I wrote over 4 documents for ExtremephpBB and other CMSs'.

I would join cause I have some time on my hand and I'd love to support the Icy Phoenix team. Thanks, Shaythong.

He he he... thank you.

The RC will be ready in few days, so you can launch your website.

You are "coordinating" the job? That you mean you didn't assign us Document writing.

I am waiting for the new IcyPhoenix, I think that will be perfect

Thanks

It will. Glad you all like it, I think the RC/final will have the new themes included.

Many features, even some AJAX like MG said.

Great!

Just one question related to security:
Do you think Icy Phoenix RC or Final will be more secure instead of XS058b (with all security patch applied)?

Thanks

It should... but you cannot be 100% sure!

I just got Icy phoenix, i am very impressed but I am not going to use it as the main forum (even tho it is online) until you get a final release version

I see that you posted in that CMS Document a user made, that if he/she needs help, he can ask me.
I mean before, when I didn't make a list of doc to do, what would you have assigned me?

Hi MG

I don't know enough about IcyPhoenix or phpBB to write about them, but if you want someone to check the spelling and grammar in the english version of the manual, I'd be happy to help.

*** SPAM ****

And user banned

Do you have news?

Thanks

jejeje! Ok

As some other that wrote before me, I'm not able to program in PHP, but I can help to review italian translations, if you need it, even if Antonio Mercurio's work it's a really good job...

Ciao!

Thank you for your offer, but since I'm Italian, I prefer to translate this on my own.

Anyway, should I need any help, I'll contact you.
