We can make a forum.justanotherlanguage.org easily, and I hope others would contribute.
A mirrored SVN would be ok with me. Obviously we would continue using the google SVN for the package. I'm not sure how to do it, so I don't know the risks. Does phpbb have a mailing list module? When I last made a forum, it was hard to find this feature but there are some forum packages that have modules for this. I don't think there would be any issue with giving you backup copies of the site data. Matt.
