hmmmm. Food for thought

Yes, if could be useful to many sites, and they can integrate the effort into their own forums.

I think CVS is an integral part. We could easily integrate subversion or any of the popular online cvs tools into vB (provided the source tree is for the hack files, not vB files, for copyright/license reasons). Next is group permissions: This could use the built in group leader and join requets, plus a hack to allow group members mod rights over the groups thread in the specific forums (similiar to vb.org premium forums), to update the hack, attached files, edit documentation threads etc. Then the rest is for the role/permission implementation.

OR, use an existing online forge tool
