There are several open source CF projects underway at source forge. There is one called fb open forums, umm another CMS called comet I believe, as well as a url variable encryption one I worked on a while back.
Kick it off bro :) Get something started, Sourceforge has a good management system for file and bug tracking and all.

Chris, I've dealt with UBB, fuseTalk, ezBoard, and the old Allaire Forums. If I can say anything on the subject, it's that NO ONE has gotten it right (especially on the database end). Mike D said a year ago he was going to re-write the old Allaire Forums and eventually open source it. Which, stop me if I'm wrong, is what is being used on houseoffusion.com? But I think I missed the part where he open sourced it. Last I checked in June at cfFun, he said he was still working on it. I for one would really like to work an open-source bbs project. I think there is a pretty high demand for a sturdy open source board, which can be customized at the will of the programmer. I've thrown around the open-source idea with a bunch of people but found our selves intimidated by the legal requirements. You know we have a really great community here, but I can't tell you of ANY cold fusion open-source projects. Is open source cold fusion a pipe dream? Would anyone else be interested in contributing?

I didn't see a reply to this yet, so I'll offer one to consider: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fbopenforums/ It uses Fusebox, but you might be able to get something useful out of it. If you are wanting to explore how the database would be structured for a forums app, you might want to research hierarchical database design, parent-child relationships, or using recursion with your database. This page is an example of doing recursive joins for a forum: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/sqlguru/q120899-1.shtml with a follow-up here: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/sqlguru/q121799-1.shtml Another post about threaded discussion forums database design: http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=1353 with a follow-up here: http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=1602 Some good SQL sites to check out: http://www.dbmsmag.com/index.shtml http://www.codebits.com/ntm/ http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2001/07/12/aboutSQL.html http://www.sqlteam.com/Default.asp http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/ http://www.intelligententerprise.com/info_centers/database/ http://www.databasejournal.com/ http://www.sqlmag.com/ Hope that helps you somewhat.
