Discussion of Features for Forum 2.9.0
Tom
to see in this version of the forum.
To start off I would like to see the min version of Geeklog to be
bumped to 1.8.0 so we can start using the SCRIPTS class, jQuery and
implement the Autotag permissions.
We also had a few requests for RTL language support.

And don't forget that we can remove support for legacy tooltips as well.

I'm planning to do some work on internationalisation of the forum, but
I'll start a separate thread about that shortly. As far as RTL goes: I
can't read it and don't even fully understand it, so I can't code that
in without help from a speaker of an RTL language. I might look at LWC's
fork of the forum and diff it against 2.7.2 (which it is based on),
maybe I'll find something meaningful...
I'm also planning to reduce page loading times. I've already started by
fixing issue 34 from the tracker: "Use a sprite for the smilies". Now
there are 24 less HTTP requests being fired by the browser when posting
a topic. And the size of the smilie images went from 26KB down to 6.6KB.
It's not much, but a it's start none the less. I also plan to implement
some query caching functions, like proposed by Joe earlier on the
mailing list. And I'll do some profiling on the database and hopefully
manage do some further possible optimisation there.

interested in maybe helping us out with RTL support. I will let you
know if I get a response (or he may just reply here).
