[Zope] hacking zdiscussion w RDB backend

[J. Atwood]

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...

http://www.zope.org/Members/BwanaZulia/ZUBB/README

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.

Thanks,
J
