Per http://imoot.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=194#p602, there seems to be significant interest in the functionality offered by OU's ForumNG module (http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=2927&filter=1) that ForumNG be considered as a replacement to the existing forum module. The improvements seems to be consistent with increased use of AJAX so I am marking this as affecting 2.0; however, I am aware that it may actually be a project for 2.1. In any case, it seems good that there be a place for users to vote whether they would like to see the ForumNG functionality added to core. Peace - Anthony
