--- Quote ---What is smCore?
smCore will be a "core" of reusable code that will provide the basis for the development of future versions of SMF. It will be like a library of functions and classes. Other developers will use it to write future versions of SMF, or any other compatible module they can dream up to integrate with future versions of SMF. When you install those future versions, smCore code will be part of it. It will make customizing and maintaining your forum easier.
What smCore is not
smCore will not do anything all on its own. Forum administrators will not download it directly. It will not be any of the Simple Machines products you love using -- it will make the Simple Machines products you love work better.

Am I missing something here ? If theres no core to install what do the modules hook onto? We will initially need the core to use wont we? It sounds good mind but this is confusing a bit!

The plan is for core to be included with the forum. So it wouldn't be a separate download.

Ah right i see. I got the impression that the smf forum was going to be an addon too for the core like the rest of the possible modules going to be created. :)
(F.L.A.M.E.R):
Well done to the SMCore team. :-)

I don't want to re-confuse you, but that's technically correct. It's just that >99% of the users will just download a package that's "SMF 3.0 + smCore" without even having to think about it. You'll just see it as installing SMF, which just happens to include smCore. Kind of like your car includes an engine, but you don't have to buy both separately :)
