phpBB is continuing its process of opening up the development process. After an internal trial phase we have now opened up the Junior Developer Team to regular members of our community. An increasing amount of people involved in phpBB development should both speed up the development and improve quality.

Talkin bout Area51
No! I’m not talking about military bases or U.S. conspiracy theories, but rather phpBB’s very own Area51 – http://area51.phpbb.com
Area51 is phpBB’s official testing ground, and as stated on the site it is the home of “bleeding edge developmental code”. The site was established in 2001 – the brainchild of psoTFX, the former leader of the development team, in order to have a local installation of phpBB that they could test in a real life situation. With the main phpBB.com forum obviously out of the question, Area51.phpbb.com can be used so that the developers can see how the latest code is holding up with many concurrent users online, without fear of users becoming annoyed if certain features aren’t working (which I will touch on in a minute).
Area51 boasts the unique feat of hardly changing at all and always changing at the same time.
