Owl Wiki

Welcome to the Owl Wiki.

The Owl Message Board Client is a program that allows users to easily read from and post to message boards of all different kinds. The goal of Owl is to support as many different message board software including: vBulletin, phpBB and SMF.

The Owl Wiki is a documentation wiki aimed at helping those who want more information in order to download, install and use the Owl Message Board Client. The Owl Wiki also provides detailed documentation on those who wish to write Owl Parsers. Owl Parsers are written in Lua and allow third party developers to add support to Owl for other message board software. Owl Parsers can even target specific message boards like reddit or 4chan.

Owl currently runs on Windows (Windows 7 and later) and MacOS (10.6 and later). Mobile versions are planned for Android, iPhone and Windows Phone.

Owl's source code is closed. As subsequent versions of Owl are released, older versions of the source code will be released.

Road Map

Owl 1.0 will be released with support for vBulletin 3.x (3.6 and above), vBulletin 4.x and phpBB 3.x.

Developers

Owl supports a script-based parsing system that allows for a variety of message board software to be supported without subsequent releases.

Developers can write their own parsers that support an entire message board software or just a single message board. The Owl Lua API provides parser developers with tools to help with the process of writing parsers.
