Elmar,

Correct me if I am wrong,

but was CHC Forum not first bublished in 2004?

Looking at 
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/chc_forum/Changelog-78/

I see that there are already comments on this extention in 2004.

While the first rule of the proposal is
*) The extension of the year needs to be first published in 2005.

Cheers,
Ries

> 
> The CHC Forum, created by Zach Davis and Lucas Thurston of Cast Iron
> Coding, has been an invaluable addition to achieving a community
> solution in TYPO3. This extension is tightly integrated with TYPO3,
> which allows a developer to add it to the website seamlessly. Before
> this extension, developers needed to use a third party forum, modify
> countless templates and build a custom extension just to bridge between
> the forum's authentication and TYPO3's. With CHC Forum, full
> administration can be done through the TYPO3 backend, while certain
> users can be allowed moderation rights for administration in the
> frontend, thus making it extremely easy-to-use.
> 
> The CHC Forum manual is very thorough with step-by-step instructions for
> users, administrators and developers. It goes beyond most manuals with
> the addition of "Common Problems and Solutions" under "Configuration",
> "3rd Party Integration" and "Tips and Tricks". Even without the manual,
> the forum was developed in such a way that it runs almost
> out-of-the-box, thanks to "Quick Install" instructions for the
> impatient.
> 
> Support is provided through the TYPO3 bug tracker and the forum's own
> mailing list group. The developer frequently answers requests and fixes
> bugs in a timely manner. Recent improvements include cwt_community
> integration, ratings of posts, the ability for moderators to
> lock/unlock/hide/unhide threads and the ability for users to "watch
> threads".
> 
> The CHC Forum has led to a few collaborations. The News with CHC-Forum
> extension by Rupert Germann allows visitors to leave comments to news
> items and integrates them with a thread in the forum. The forum can also
> be integrated with the CWT Community extension, created by Sebastian
> Faulhaber, to provide developers with additional community features.
> This also supplies a strong model of how one extension can work with
> several other high profile extensions to expand functionality.
