I did a quick setup on phpbb on my testing domain
(http://www.posborn.com/teacher-forum/) and see no huge issues. If this
is the route that the list would like to go for a teacher/novice end
user forum I think we can handle it. I guess the question now is if this
is the path that people want to take. If it is, I can set things up in
a more permanent config, etc.
Les' points are very well taken, but I guess I do think that bbs format
might be more 'intuitive' to true novice users.... But if the more
experienced people can't / don't monitor it then the value is definitely
reduced.
So, if the active members can reach a consensus and want to sketch out
with me some of the possible forums, I can sure set it up.
