config.json

[bui]

each board should have a publicly-accessible config.json (and mayhaps a config.html) that contains information about the board's configuration, for both transparency and use with other clients

information that could be included:

• uri, title, subtitle
• owner and volunteers' usernames (once public userlist goes online), and whatever other info is public on the userlist
• the actual board settings (flags enabled, forced anon, default anon name, etc.)
• board announcement
• word filter
• banners
• flags
• statistics (post count, post rates, unique IPs, creation date)
• possibly put rules.txt in here instead of its own file?

anything else?

first thoughts:

1. some board owners may not want users to know about their wordfilters
2. rules.txt is simply used to reload the ?/settings form, it's publicly accessible but isn't really meant to be important
3. i wouldn't put statistics in there
