Actually, all that's needed to be done is some json parsing from the exchanges and taking the mean value.
Different people use different exchanges and also taking mean isn't a good for listing price IMHO.
Also, when is the new forum software coming out? Or when was it "supposed" to come out?
It was supposed to come last month. It will come soon as the developers are at the end.
It's a general purpose forum that's intended to compete with others. Once the theme engine is in place, we'll be able to get more involvement from the public. For now, you can check out the source. On top of that a beta is being evaluated with the staff at this point so please sit tight.
