It's attached to this mail. The text file is included in the 1.0
milestones but was removed during the official releasing because
it was published at forum documentation (the txt contains the same
informations as the Usage article) and somehow we forgot to update
the readme.txt afterwards.

You can create new ticket in Documentation project [1] if you think
those informations are not enough.

Yes, until we created the sample PUR pages at demo-project/features
there wasn't any need to make the STK dependent on PUR. This integration
was done at Magnolia 4.2/STK 1.2. And when you wrote that you're using
version 1.2.3 than I didn't mentioned that.

You should start by simply deploying the forum jar in Magnolia, and have
a look at the sample pages, which should be bootstrapped under /forum in
the website repository. To make them any readable, you should make sure
the templates used by these pages includes the following stylesheet:
/.resources/forum/magnolia-forum.css

To create a forum: go to the admininterface, you should have a new
"Forums" item in the menu. Click "New forum" in the toolbar, rename the
new node appropriately. Note that this node's name is only the "short
name" of the forum. You should also change the value of its "name"
property if you want a nicer name to appear in the list.

Now can start looking at the various pages, and you will see that each
of them as one or two of the following paragraphs:
 * Forum list
 * Thread list
 * New thread
 * Thread view
 * Thread reply

The names of each of these should be clear enough. Each of these can be
on a separate page but also potentially on the same page. (a typical
example would be the thread list and new thread paragraphs being on the
same page)

Each of these paragraphs needs to know where its related pages are. For
instance, the forum list paragraphs needs to know to which page it
should link when rendering the links to each forum (normally that would
a page that has a thread list paragraph). Have a look at the sample
pages which are provided within the jar (it should get bootstrapped
under /forum in the website repository) and it should become clear.

Each of these paragraphs also has a title/text property, so that one can
put arbitrary text on top of each view (reminders, warnings, rules, ...)

If you want to add paragraphs or create new forum pages, you will need
to adapt your page template(s) so that it allows the appropriate
paragraphs to be added:
  <cms:newBar ...
       paragraph="....,forum-list,thread-list,thread-new,thread-view" />
The current samples are using the "two columns" sample template, and
its newBar tag for the main column is located under
  templates/samples/templates/inc/columnMain.jsp
