Hey guys.  As most of you know I run SEO-Board to power http://www.newjerseyhunter.com  According to Google Analytics I am averaging well over a million pages views per month.  The site started back in Feb. 2005.

Anyway... since then I have run SEO-Board on hosted/shared/dedicated environments on both Windows and Linux.

And I have done some tweaks.  And now I am ready to gather my thoughts, package, and release some code.

Coming from a Microsoft programming background I am big fan of the provider pattern as well as OO techniques.  Thus, I want to release the following providers for SEO-Board:

1. Image upload/hosting.
2. Private messages.
3. CDN (content delivery)
4. User management (ie, not using seo-board-users)
5. User admin management
6. Advertising management

Using the provider pattern allows one to either use "my implementation" or to develop their own.

What do you guys thinks?  Any other pluggable feature that needs to be addressed?  Thanks.

I do not want or desire to fork/branch the current code.

Dragthor,
your forum is the largest based on the board and it runs very fast. I guess you know what you are doing when you add stuff to the code
I have a different coding philosophy (coming from a background of assembly coding).
If you feel like branching or make addons/code available for the interested webmasters, I certainly don't mind.

Hristo,

My PHP skills need improvement as I do not work with PHP for a living.

Histro,

I am planning open source.  Which license?  MIT?

Dragthor,
I am not too familiar with licenses. Pick whatever you like. Just give me credit for my part of the code
