  • built-in multi-site support
  • spam protection from akismet/viking
  • forum authorization rules (public/private/invitation)
  • email and atom feed support
  • xml/json API (not 100% tested yet, fixing soon)
  • highline based easy console installer
  • internationalization via the I18n framework
