The permissions can be easily changed. So no.

whats wrong with the permisions?

If you knew anything about wikis...
We should really be using the built in Administrators status, instead of the "admin". And someone needs to be a bureaucrat, to manage stuff properly. (Me? LOL)

we can't since this is what SF does for you!

Notice:

The sourceforge wiki isnt working correctly for what we are going to do. I will get a new one up soon.

what hosting will you use?

If we're going to be having the forum system run on AJAX, here is something very important: bookmarking URLs. If everything just changed without any URL changes, pages couldn't be bookmarked, and everything could be lost with a <backspace>. The fastest-changing part of a URL is the part after the hash: it doesn't load a new page. So here's how I think we should format the hash parts of a URL:

index.php#topic/85150
index.php#topic/85150|p/12
index.php#post/700164
index.php#forum/6
index.php#forum/6|p/4
index.php#tag/php(|p/2)
index.php#search/724281439(|p/2)
index.php#search/show_24h(|p/2)
index.php#search/show_unanswered(|p/2)
index.php#search/show_user|uid/105129(|p/2)
index.php#search/show_new(|p/2)
index.php#post/85150(|qid/700164)
index.php#edit/1000000 (I could actually use that URL [I made the 1,000,000th post!])
index.php#delete/1090638
index.php#report/666896
index.php#markread

I'm really not listing them all though. ^^ You probably get the format by now though.

Or just have a link button which gives you a link to /link?l=them above which posts this to the index

And we can have a back button on the page

But then you have the problem of going back to the index if your browser crashes. ._.
Sidenote: How do you POST things directly from a PHP script?

Try having a look at http://www.scriptschool.com/news/20050409/22/
for your  sidenote.

ScriptSchool.com is down...

Hardmath123 had a great suggestion: collapsible forum sections!
Here's the mockup he made:

Wow, news travels fast! If you implement this, may I suggest disclosure triangles rather than [...]s? They look... cooler. 

SVN Update:

Update the lib folder for read, unread and locked topic icons.

Weren't we not supposed to do any coding until all the brainstorming has been done? >_<

bump anyone got any ideas about what to include?

Not sure. I think we should start to decide what we will use. Like a MySQL database, the programming language, etc.

i think MySQL with PHP JS AJAX(yes i know it's not a language) and HtML

Okay then, those work.

So these could be the files we'll need:

index.php
post.php - Displays a post based on the ID entered (like: post.php?id=123)
login.php - Either displays a login, or opens the login page
logout.php
category.php or board.php
topic.php
profile.php
admin/admin.php
install/install.php
include/config.php
skins/default.css
skins/[username].css

Though that is obviously an incomplete list, so any suggestions?
