Phorum is a lean, mean, yet still featured forum package. Relatively good security track record as well, at least for a php based app. I have used several over the years and Phorum would be on my short list for something like this, i.e. don't more knowledge and info based than recreational. I suggest you include it in your evaluations. Also, there are many excellent CMS's out there which would ease the burden of keeping things up to date greatly. I would recommend taking a good look at Drupal. That way web dev's can focus on backend development and documentation oriented folks can focus on creating documents. -- Ken Gunderson <kgund...@teamcool.net> _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
