Re: [OT] Mail & Web forums

[Ryan Hoegg]

I just spent considerable time hunting for a good open source forum.  
The only viable java option I found was jGossip, but its immature, built 
on struts, and used hardcoded JDBC in its DAOs.  I think it could be 
ported to OJB or hibernate, but phpBB was way more mature and I needed 
one soon.  So, I installed phpBB.

That said, a forum / mailing list combination would be great!  If you 
decide to go forward with one, I'd love to help out.  Might make a nice 
demonstration of Cocoon Forms and flowscript.

I'm looking for a system (preferably open source) that I can install 
on my own server, that'll allow me to set up a combined mailing 
list/web based forum, (much as we have now with ezmlm and gmane), 
i.e.messages can be sent by email or on a web page, messages can be 
received by email or viewed, threaded, on a web page. I can't use 
Gmane as these lists will be private.

Anyone able to give me pointers (replies off list are fine)? I've been 
looking for months and not found anything.

Sorry for the noise.
