I'm in! A complete ripoff from that PHP thing? Nobody knows anything better? We should have this discussion over at zope-forum, so I leave this thread now. Bye!
...it's written in PHP :-(
I've been suggesting for a while now that it might be time to write a zope-based forum.
I love phpBB, it has a LOT of power, and we need something similar in
zope,
maybe based around CMF? That would allow for users and themes via skins.
ZDiscussions (or ZUBB) are nowhere near powerful enough, and haven't been updated in a long time, though they may also be a good place to start.
I think what a basic forum needs is:
- User Registation/Preferences - Themes - Flat or Threaded views - Private messaging system - The ability to post HTML and/or UBB code - Support for different types of catagory/forum (Public, Private, Hidden, allow Anonymous post, etc) - Strong security
These are just a few of thing things needed. The features on phpbb.com might be a good place to look at well.
