One of my goals of getting involved again would be to make the whole site more mobile friendly.

Yeah. Bootstrap was my first thought.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Point of order: I generally view b.org in w3m, a console web browser with no Javascript. It works beautifully. I would really, really like for that to remain the case.

Bootstrap is a CSS thing, not a Javascript thing. The idea would be to have things look the same, but in a way that scales to mobile better.

Thanks to Jon, the b.org source is now in a private repository in gitlab :).
I've added some issues, investigating the logging out issue, fixing a concerning security flaw, and coming up with a plan for a better mobile experience.
It you want to participate in board development, let me know, and I can hook you up to get access to the repository.
My first task will be organization and cleanup to make local deployment easier.
In general, I think it should be policy to work on a branch rather than master.

Oh, oh, make a scrum team! Have sprints! And daily stand-ups!

Oh, we're doing it all, including planning poker. I've got a whiteboard and a stack of sticky notes waiting. I'm going to agile the sh*t out of this.
(No, no I'm not.)

Agile is a verb now? I had no idea.

Another big issue is that after the PHP upgrade in January, all new database records that are created are encoded as UTF-8, whereas all previous database records were Latin-1. So if you go back and read any old posts, you will see a lot of ⬧s.
I was thinking of writing a script to go through and update all the old records and reencoding any that aren't just plain ascii to utf-8. (I did this manually already for a few things like the quotes, and § ita §'s username. The main problem being that it would take a long time to complete (weeks or even months), and there is the possibility I could fuck up the board's database.
