Panchayat has been online in beta for more than a month now. I think we can carve out a stable release. Since we have feature parity with reddit, this could be a good starting point. Some tasks to be completed for the release:
- Require login to view the forum.
- move domain from port 5555 to panchayat.haletic.com
- disable posting on golfviewecho802 and have an announcement redirecting to panchayat.
- have some way to reset the password, because sooner or later someone will forget their password.
- containerize everything to run within docker to keep panchayat best until 2050.
- have a system to periodically backup the database off methuselah.
Any other must-have items to be tackled for the first stable release. All the other features like tagging, mail digest etc can be handled in subsequent releases.
