<html><head></head><body>I'd prefer not to take the conversation to sword-devel. Now that I am done with my project for the INTF, my hope is to utilize the frameworks I've built for projects at CrossWire. This includes running a liferay installation which is a fully compliant JSR-168 and 286 portlet container as well as an OpenSocial container. I'm sure we could find a forum portlet or use the one that ships with liferay. You can see it their forums in action on their own site if you'd like to evaluate:<br>

Should we take the discussion to sword-devel?<br /><br />I think the key features that people have mentioned are:<br /> Something that is actively maintained.<br /> Something that does threading and quoting.<br /> Something w/ decent spam and user management support.<br /> Must work on RHEL 6.

Maybe sooner.<br /><br />How about we try "myBB"?<br /><br />See <a href="http://myBB.com/features">http://myBB.com/features</a><br /><br /><br />If we want to import current rather than start over empty:<br /><br />vBulletin can import from mvnForum.
