Really, do you know of any proof? Because I'm deeply skeptical that sitemaps dramatically improve the speed with which Google or other search engines traverse your site.

In theory sitemaps should save them time, but Google's Webmaster Tools indicates Googlebot traverses my site from top-to-bottom in less than three days and most threads show up in the index within a 1/2 day. A bigger savings, I believe, would be if phpBB properly implemented the if-modified-since http header. As written today, search engines query with the if-modified-since header set, but always get return code 200 and the full page. If phpBB correctly returned 304 Not Modified, crawlers would demand far less resources and I bet they'd finish much more quickly. There's a phpBB mod that was started to add this capability, but it was abandoned (can't find it at the moment).

Any update?

Several updates, but not in public version at the moment
Don't worry, when that will go out, you'll be informed.

I hate to nag, but I've seen the sneek preview in another topic of the sitemap and it's looking quite good.

Any idea of an alpha stage?

I would love to test it and give you feedback

Developing is currently being done at a high rate, we're closer to beta release than ever, but still, we cannot provide with a release date.

What is for sure is that it will be released

still waiting it man

Sorry, but you will until it will be released

The teaser was updated a bit :

http://phpbb3.phpbb-seo.net/rss/rss.xml => main feed
http://phpbb3.phpbb-seo.net/rss/ => channels
http://phpbb3.phpbb-seo.net/rss/channels/forum.xml => forum channels
http://phpbb3.phpbb-seo.net/sitemapindex.xml

But it's already outdated by thee or four commits

great work guys
can I be one of the beta testers ?
I have an Arabic forums that count 137K members and about 175K posts

I think beta testing with 5-10 active members for a one-week shakedown would be a good idea. The sitemaps code is less complicated; it's the RSS feeds that need a good round of final testing.

It's up to dcz...
