I wonder what the hurry was behind the sudden change of contribs.org.
There are about a zillion of bookmarks and posts out that refer to non existing content anymore. There are thousands of people relying on the contribs.org wiki from day to day.
Looking at this thread and arguments, there must be a good reason for the current changes, timing and consequenses. I have been watching over contribs.org many years an actually created the framework as it was (using Xoops) Shad made excellent adjustments for global search and account integration, and I wonder what was not functioning (besides security updates that can be done manually and create time to launch a new portal)
Right now, contribs.org has been replaced with the basic phpbb and static pages are moved to smeserver.org (using joomla). I really miss the contribs.org portal as it was. It was my one stop shop for everything regarding SME Server.
I never would have done these changes, although understand the need for changes. I simply would have done it differently. But then again, I agreed to resign in favour of ruffdogs taking over and more importantly for the SME Server to survive and provide a true portal to the community.
I am disappointed but await the end users improvements.
