Sorry for posting this under issues. Wasn't sure where else to post.

I've been investigating JForum, using the 2.3.3 code that is being maintained by Andowson Chang. Comparing the code, it looks like major changes are planned in the 3.0 update.

If this is the case, will there be a migration path from 2.3.x to 3.0 or will 3.0 be a completely different animal?

One area the I'm particularly interested in is how much of the API will be exposed so that external apps will be able to manage users and groups externally. I see that there are service classes defined in the services package, but I can't tell which will be exposed. Right now 2.3.3 has mechanisms to add a user and retrieve a list of users. Will 3.0 add to the available methods that can be accessed externally?

Thanks for your work on the application!
