    From John Kelly@1:3634/23 to All on Fri Jun 1 10:20:00 2012

    I got the MBSE source from the hg repo, compiled it, and setup the first
    user. I see some html docs, but no howto guides. Anyone have pointers
    to more docs?

    MBSE appears to be the last hope for a decent open source BBS. Are many
    sysops using it?

    What's the state of development? Still active? Or is it so mature that further development is not needed?

    It's still developed. Just be sure you check the website for any
    updates :) Also, if you don't want to use MBSE, there are other open source/free BBS packages available for Linux. Enthral and Mystic are
    two of those.

    There are one or two others but this one has been on constant usage for over ten years under linux
    platforms and yes, quite a few.

    It is still under development but as it is mature not a lot happens these days unless someone finds
    a bug which has thankfully become somewhat rare.
