I am wondering what type of forum converters would be of interest?
I am considering writing a UBB5.x -> FUDforum converter, however I am not sure if there are any other converters that may be of interest.
So, suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Well, a converter from FUDforum should be easy to write from just about anything really, our database structure is pretty simple really, there is
categories -> fud_cat table
forums -> fud_forum table
threads -> fud_thread table
messages -> fud_msg table
the fields taht link them are such
fud_forum.cat_id references fud_cat.id
fud_thread.forum_id references fud_forum.id
fud_msg.msg_id references fud_thread.id
anyhow.. it is quite easy, if you are not sure about something we will gladly provide help, or simply we can agree to meet on IRC and we will work with you to write the converter.

Thanks. About the thread files in the /data directory - is there something I need to know about them, or can I convert the Phorum threads to simple HTML and dump them into this directory? Is there a central function that creates these files?
A meeting on IRC sounds excellent by the way. Give me a few days to work on this first - that'll improve the quality of my questions by 100% at least

There is usually someone (hackie or myself) on irc.openprojects.net inside channel #fudforum.
So, if you want to ask questions on IRC that is the place to go.
Phorum is a pretty simple forum as far as forums go, I imagine it should be pretty easy to imports it's data into FUDforum.
If you would like, send me the data dump of Phorum and I'll might be able to write an importer or at least give you some worth while suggestions on how to go about writing an importer.

Any progress or word on converters? I'm terribly excited to switch to your forum but at the moment, don't know how to get from phpBB to FUD.
I'm a pretty good techie, but I'm not a programmer and don't know php.
Anyway, thanks in advance..

Hackie & myself are currently working on implementing the templating and i18n system. This will probably be our focus our development efforts for the next little while.
Once that is done, we will turn our attention at creating convertors from various other forums & bulletin board systems.
