Sophie has launched the open-source version of Festinger Vault

[SophieFestingerWorld]

We’re excited to announce that Sophie has launched an open-source version of Festinger Vault.

Some of you may know me as a former moderator in the Festinger community. Because of that history, I care deeply about keeping this space useful, respectful and focused on the right things.

This marks a new chapter for the project: Festinger Vault is now moving toward a fully community-driven model where developers, users, site owners and contributors can discuss, inspect and improve the software behind Festinger Vault together.

Source code

The source code is available here:

👉 [FestingerWorld/festinger-vault on GitHub](https://github.com/FestingerWorld/festinger-vault)

This community is focused on the software, codebase and open-source development behind Festinger Vault. That includes discussions about setup, architecture, development, documentation, contributions, bug reports, feature ideas, self-hosting and improving the project.

Important boundaries

1. Festinger Vault is not affiliated with Festinger World. This community discusses the open-source software and related development topics only.
2. This forum does not provide support for the main Festinger Vault website.
3. This forum does not provide customer support, account support, billing support or download support for the main website.
4. We do not allow downloading, uploading, requesting, sharing or redistributing WordPress themes or plugins here.
5. We do not allow links to theme/plugin download mirrors or requests for commercial product files.
6. Discussions should stay focused on the open-source software behind Festinger Vault and the public GitHub repository.

The goal is to keep this space clean, legal, constructive and useful for people who want to understand, run, contribute to or improve the open-source project.

What is welcome here

• Development questions
• Setup and self-hosting discussions
• Bug reports related to the open-source repository
• Feature requests
• Pull request discussions
• Documentation improvements
• Architecture and technical feedback
• Community roadmap ideas

Final note

Please treat this open-source version as a community-driven project provided as-is. It is not a replacement for the main Festinger Vault website, and it is not a distribution channel for themes or plugins.

Thank you to Sophie for making this possible and opening the door for the community to build around the software behind Festinger Vault.
