+<h1>Discord Clone Proposal</h1>
+
+<p>This is a proposal to make a Discord clone based on <a href="about.html">Luan Chat</a>.  What Discord calls a "server", I will call a "forum" because it is basically a chat forum.  I propose these steps:</p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li><p>We start with Luan Chat.  We use it to communicate.  fschmidt adds missing features including better login (like Fluentaro) and Markdown.  Deleted User installs the code locally and fully understands it.  Deleted User can also suggest changes.</p></li>
+
+<li><p>We design the Discord clone for a stand-alone forum.  No coding here, just design discussion.  This includes features, UI, and program design.</p></li>
+
+<li><p>Fork Luan Chat and use that to implement stand-alone forum.  Deleted User will do this with fschmidt's help.</p></li>
+
+<li><p>Move the Arkian Discord server to use this.  Deleted User will fix issues until this is stable.</p></li>
+
+<li><p>Design for multiple forums.  Again no coding, just design discussion.</p></li>
+
+<li><p>Implement multiple forums.  This will probably require new Luan features which fschmidt will implement.  Both Deleted User and fschmidt will work on adding this to the Discord clone code.</p></li>
+
+</ol>
