Kanboard: Discussion board/blog

[paddymac841]

Expected behaviour

Some sort of issue discussion form that lets all members of a project discuss a particular topic or just the whole projects progress. Would be a helpful/convenient add-on. A plugin for this would be great

Actual behaviour

Have to just use comments on tasks.

Configuration

• Kanboard version: Version 1.0.26
• Database type and version: Mysql
• PHP version:
• OS: OSX
• Browser: Chrome

Thanks for the response Busfreak.
I searched through all the available plugins already (Some i found useful and straight forward to implement). Although there is not a massive selection.. I was thinking more of a forum based on Kanboard rather than using web hooks and a different system? or maybe that is a common solution?

In my _humble_ opinion, I would prefer that Kanboard remain very tight in its core. Stay away from scope creep and continue to provide a rock solid platform. Focus the efforts on improving UI/UX (which is already very good). Again, this is my humble opinion, but leveraging plugins to add features seems like a much better way to go to ensure a more rapid release timeline and easier to test code.

I agree on what you are saying rvalente. Have you tried developing your own plugins? Why are there so few plugins out there? Its a great system, which needs way more recognition.

If anyone need this feature and would like to develop a plugin, do not hesitate to contribute. There are already too many feature requests and I prefer to keep the software simple.
