I actually started this a few days ago, although not really hacking ZDiscussions, more like rebuilding a new discussion with a SQL backend and modeled after UBB. You can look at what I started to write here...

I am up to a slew of tables and building the forms to add topics. Take a look and let me know if this is what you were looking to build.
I will add that I too am not a "real" programmer and while I have been using Zope for months I am still just ramping up.
Have you looked at squishdot (http://squishdot.org , http://www.zope.org/Members/butchland/Squishdot)?
yes, i've looked at it and use it for my site. but i want something in the line of phorum (www.phorum.org), or UBB, or wwwthreads. i've also looked at confera and zdiscussion, but then i would like to implement it with a RDB backend.
It's my understanding that someone is doing a reimplementation of Squishdot using ZDiscussions/PTK. Can anyone on the list confirm this? this would seem to solve most of the moderation/registration issues.
In any case, this would seem to be a better approach than an RDBMS centric application, as it leverages Zope's strengths.
i believe the pros of having a rdb backend:- -i can have more than one database, compared to only one Data.fs, since the site will host a bunch of forums. -discussion boards is many writes and reads. and i believe i read somewhere that ZODB is perfect for many reads/few writes.
