Our vague timeline (subject to all kinds of upset) is:
February 2013: Publish final API specs along with UX flow and some design examples/docs.
May 2013: Make the API available in beta form and open up dev on the front-end website to more than just us.
August 2013: Launch the beta website.
October 2013: Deliver the forum software on a working platform and migrate LFGSS.
At staggered dates thereafter make other forums migrateable to Microcosm.
For organisations, we will support the ability to have 100% private forums... but we didn't think we'd need that from day one. We figure that as our revenue stream (affiliate adverts) might not work for private forums and that organisations may wish to opt out of all of the affiliate stuff, that we may have to charge organisations that want wholly private forums.
We planned to leave that to a later date, but if this is what you're thinking of and you want to have totally private forums sans-affiliate links, etc... then we would definitely give you that stuff, but with the note that it may be something we charge for at some vague future date.
