[57north-discuss] Looking for help

[Rowan Evenstar]

Hi Peet,

I know PHP, but I am no Guru. But I will reach out to my PHP friends.

The concern here is its a very very outdated base, and there are security
concerns with using old php (5.2 released 2010).

It might be better to work out these 'custom modules' and see how they can
be done with the current phpbb and php.

I will let you know if I find someone who may be willing to help out.

Cheers,
Rowan.
