Agreed - nabble does look good. Users love forums & I was eventually going to try suggest we use one on Apache projects - once we have the confluence issue sorted (ducks flamewar).

How about we setup the Apache mail lists on nabble (looks to be the old codehaus ActiveMQ lists on there right now) and try it out - if it works great we can scrap the forums.
