For a long time I've tried to find the perfect integration of a blog and forums, but I have yet to come across one. For a day or two, I thought Wordpress and bbPress might be the answer, only to find that the procedural code in both was almost as unmaintainable as phpBB, and seperation of business and presentation logic was almost non-existant.
So I'm out to close the hole in the open source market, and I'm asking anyone who would like to to jump on for the ride.
blogBB seeks to seamlessly integrate a blog and community forums, and to be easily maintainable. If you're interested, I wrote up more on the linked page. Obviously, there is no pay, or promises of pay, other than helping the world out and having a nice project to paste on your resume.
Until I get a SourceForge project set up in a few days, I hope the DevNetwork admins won't mind if I ask comments to be posted here. I'll assume they won't: If you have any comments, please post them here.
