I could also host a threaded discussion forum. Not phpBB, but Fusetalk (www.fusetalk.com <http://www.fusetalk.com/> ) The software used is not a problem - they all do much the same thing. Importing the archived wisdom is the big issue as Steve rightly says _____ From: Stephen P. Veillette [mailto:stephen@...] Sent: 25 March 2005 19:57 To: DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Digital BW] Will this forum ever get streamlined? I think the solution, in my humble, yet informed opinion (I am the webmaster for a public university), is that this group really needs to be reinvented as a modern web-based forum, which would easily include all the features that have been mentioned: easy to follow threads, messages organized by categories, and a built-in sophisticated (and usable) search engine. There is a popular open source product that can do all of this-- phpBB (www.phpbb.com). All one would need to do is register a domain name, select a web hosting company, and install and configure this software on it. Fairly easy, but importing the archived collective wisdom of this group would probably take a fair amount of work, though. Just an idea. -Steve Please visit the Group Homepage to check the Files, and other resources as they are often being updated. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint If you wish to receive no emails or just a daily digest, or you wish to unsubscribe, please edit your Membership preferences by visiting this same page.
