Why would you need to change evey file - surely you just have a database class for PostgreSQL ?

Well it isn't every file, and is less of a problem now that we have the data managers (at this point reads are the main issue). There is still a lot of SQL (which was put there with mySQL in mind) laying around the files.

Simply putting together a Postgre DB class is not enough. A lot of SQL (and probably some php) needs to be re-done to take advantage of Postgre. If such things were not done I'd rather just see mySQL as the only supported DBMS.

Amen to that. I would love to be able to export my calendar in ical format.

great list there stinger2. I am not sure but I wish to see at least a few of these mods embedded in the next major release.

Shoutbox, latest statistics, portal, etc.

The basic things that are available for every BB, but only as modifications...

I strongly feel that there's no need for a shoutbox. but a portal would be a great addition.

(This is not really useful or needed by most, but it would be nice to see a new default style).
