We like cerca (the software that runs this forum) 😁

We’ve been in discussion for some weeks/months now with @cblgh (initiator of the project) on how to adapt it to our needs while still contributing to the project as a whole. This is a thread to make this work visible. Feel free to join in in whatever way you fee like 💓 This could be discussing new ideas, testing things, reporting back on improvements - you don’t need to be a programmer to help 📢

@cblgh

Here’s an overview of the discussions and also the changes so far.
