Actually, I believe ZDiscussion is based on a newer set of code than
Confera, and is built with ZClasses and python. Which is not to say that it
is actively maintained...

Note that KMNN is not really a "discussion" system... it's more of a news
posting system.

The PTK now has the ability to declare objects "Discussable". This is pretty
cool, and probably the way you'd want to go with new development...
