dnfBB final beta available for download
dnfBB is a powerful and fast 3 Tier, C# / .Net discussion board or forum. With native support for multiple forums within the same database structure which fully utilises Firebird’s features (Stored procs, triggers etc)
The final beta version of dnfBB is now available for download, this version includes all the features that were allocated to Version 1. Without a doubt there will be a few imperfections to iron out before the final release, however as far as functionality goes this is now complete (Firebird version only at the moment).

Web-based help desk software using Firebird
Help Desk for IIS is a web-based help desk software solution for delivering customer service and support. It easily installs on your web server as an ISAPI extension for Microsoft Internet Information Services. Your customers or technicians need no additional software other than a web browser. All information is stored in a relational database (Firebird), and the web pages themselves are produced by a server-side ISAPI extension.
