Re: Opensource?
PunBB is already open source (GPL).
As for not being on Sourceforge or BerliOS, I don't know, but I don't really see what difference it would make.
Looking for a certain modification for your forum? Please take a look here before posting.

Re: Opensource?
Well the benefits of sf.net or berlios are for development.
- cvs and file management.
- webspace and a project.sourceforge.net resp. project.berlios.de
- task management
- mailinglist
- RSS Feed
- etc.
and also the goal of thoes portals is to be a place of all OSS people may find them on one point. for developers instred in getting similar ideas may join project and work on existing than re-invent it.
kind regards

Re: Opensource?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/punbb
It's there 
- cvs and file management.
Rickard has SVN/Trac set up and maintained by Textdrive
- webspace and a project.sourceforge.net resp. project.berlios.de
Textdrive hosts PunBB for free (I think) because it's an open source project
- task management
Trac?
- mailinglist
Already have one
- RSS Feed
See extern.php
and also the goal of thoes portals is to be a place of all OSS people may find them on one point. for developers instred in getting similar ideas may join project and work on existing than re-invent it.
I don't think Rickard is interested in recuriting other developers

Re: Opensource?
kk, i see, you have found other tools for development.
well finally you have to work with ^^
i'm just one of the people which like to find OSS Projects on one Portal.
what where the reasons not to use sf.net functions?
PS: Hm, I had a look at Trac. It doesn't satisfy me at all as an Project Admin as well as the software used on sf.net. it seams there is for no good tracking and file management software to find in OSS Community or i didn't found it yet ^^
but with my OSS Project i'm fine at sf.net 
About RSS Feed
See extern.php
Where do you mean exactly? well www.punbb.org/extern.php doesnt work ^^
Reason i'm asking for is: I would like to get the file release announcements over RSS Feed.

This script is used to include information about your board from
pages outside the forums and to syndicate news about recent
discussions via RSS. The script can display a list of recent
discussions (sorted by post time or last post time), a list of
active users or a collection of general board statistics. The
script can be called directly via an URL (for RSS), from a PHP
include command or through the use of Server Side Includes (SSI).The scripts behaviour is controlled via variables supplied in the
URL to the script. The different variables are: action (what to
output), show (how many topics to display), fid (the ID or ID's of
the forum(s) to poll for topics), nfid (the ID or ID's of forums
that should be excluded) and type (output as HTML or RSS). The
only mandatory variable is action. Possible/default values are:action: active (show most recently active topics) (HTML or RSS)
new (show newest topics) (HTML or RSS)
