How about Drupal? It's available as a standard-issue deb though more recent versions are on the Drupal site. Drupal is a cms rather than pure blogging software but according to their write-ups plugins can be used to achieve this. I suspect an important reason for the popularity of web boards is that they provide a greater sense of community than a mailing list and become, for some, a place to hang out. At present, though, I don't think anyone's really cracked the problem with web boards, namely that mailing lists are fast, simple and don't require a gui to use even though they are less flexible than the boards in some respects. In addition, web boards require quite a lot of oversight and maintenance, in my experience, not to mention server resources. So someone would have to do a lot of work. :) Fish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
