We have been working on a Snitz Project for the past couple of months.
About the Project
The project is mainly to provide a documentation for users who are intrested in creating mods for thier forum. It will provide detailed information about every subroutine and function used in the forum code. Also detailed information about every database table and field used by the forum. Information on how to install mods and the security concerns a user should know about.
We believe mods shouldn't be created by just the admins or dev team members or the advanced snitz users. We believe all users should be able to mod thier forum to the way they want it. And give something back to the community.
What's Required?
I'm glad you asked. A lot of persons think you got to be a asp guru to write a document like this, but that's not really true. A basic knowledge of the VBScript language is enough. Here's a few other requirements:- Basic understanding of the Snitz Forums code
- Have installed a mod and also created a mod of your own
- Have a willingness to help
- A little free time
Just a few hours during the week is enough. We don't have a deadline (just hoping to get it done before the year ends). So you can take your time.
What's in it for me?
You mean you wouldn't just do this for fun? 
Your name and/or username will be included as being part of the Snitz Development team when the document is published. Right along side the rest of the other developers. How cool is that? 
If you're insterested just post here or you can email me via this forum.< |

Well, a lot has been done since I posted this announcement.
We have covered documenting the database tables and fields along with all asp functions and subs. What's left is to document the javascript functions, along with organizing the info we have about "Making your Mods Secure", "How to make a Mod" etc. We have the info, it just needs to be entered into the document in an easy and friendly to read manner.
If any of you guys, or anyone else is still intrested, please email me. I will take your email as "yes I would like to help out".
And please, don't email me if you're not serious about helping. I have had quite a few users who were excited about helping, but only showed up once to help and I didn't see them after that. Excitment alone isn't enough motivation.< |

Has this Project got anywhere further? Need anymore help? I'm in the middle of creating my first Mod and having this document to hand would probably have saved me loads of hours trawling through code to try and work things out!!
I'd be willing to lend a hand if you still need help. I'm a competant programmer, but don't know Snitz indepth, so I'd be coming at it from the angle of knowing what sort of info is helpful for a first time modder. < |

It's been a year later Gargoyle. 
Well, the project is still there, just that it has gotten quite since. A lot of work, and I mean a lot has gone into it already. We are just at the final hurdle, where we need someone to write up the document. We have the info already, it just needs to be put into the document in a way newbies can understand and a format they can understand.
All of the functions and subs have been covered in the asp files. Just that we decided to include the Javascript functions as well, which put some additional work on the team.
There are a few javascript functions left that need to be descripted (is that a word). I mean, to be broken down and explained.
So if you guys are up to either challenge (document writing or javascript descripting), then let me know.< |

About the time that I last replied to this topic, we found out that our daughter has Autism. This makes two for us as our son also has it.
Since then, I've devoted my free time to developing a website that caters to the nutritional needs of Autistic persons. With what other free time I have, I can help in proof-reading when you all need a fresh pair of eyes.
Cheers,
Etymon

Etymon, as soon as the document end is near complete, I will use you as a proof-reader. The functions and subs and database descriptions will need to be looked over just to make sure they are working. That is 100's of descriptions to look at.
So you're on my list Etymon. < |
