 O> I've been working on PPE (The scripting language of 
 O> PCBoard) tooling as side project and it has grown a bit 
 O> so I decided to finish that and it'll end up as a BBS 
 O> system.

Sounds interesting - I don't personally have much experience with PCBoard though I do remember it being a major player back in the day. (just not in my tiny local calling area)

 O> I know that there are probably more BBS authors than 
 O> users left these days but it's a project for fun and 
 O> testing out what's possible.
 O> (The same applies for my other projects :))

I like the way you do projects!

 O> IcyBoard is still months from beeing an alpha - however it's shaping up:

The demos look great!  It looks like it works well already.

 O> In that state I can really need input in all areas. Everything helps.
 O> The main goal is to provide a base to run the old .PPE 
 O> ecosystem and to modernize the PPL programming language.

I wish I had more input to offer you, all I have is encouragement. :)

 O> I've been extending PPL a bit if anyone is interested in 
 O> discussing that I would like to get feedback on PPL. 
 O> The plan for PPL is to bring it not only to icy_board 
 O> but to icy_draw as plugin & animation language as well.

I'll be following the development, thanks for sharing information about your projects!
