| − | '''Vanilla Forums'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | http://vanillaforums.org/
| |
| − | | |
| − | Written in PHP. (could buildout still get it as a dependency for the site?)
| |
| − | | |
| − | http://vanillaforums.org/docs/singlesignon
| |
| − | | |
| − | They currently have a password/cookies based plugin that will allow single site sign in.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It appears they are working on OAuth based single sign on.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Decently sized community behind it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can have a hosted version that integrates with your site easily, but it’s a pay to play.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Has a mobile layout. http://vanillaforums.org/features/mobile
| |
| − | It can send email, but I didn’t see anything specifically for mailing list.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tutorial videos. http://www.screenr.com/user/vanilla
| |
| − | ***TODO*** Intall local version to see how easy it is. PHP sites tend to be dead simple to install.

| − | '''GroupServer'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | http://groupserver.org
| |
| − | | |
| − | Written in Python, specifically using the Zope framework.
| |
| − | http://groupserver.org/groupserver/architecture/
| |
| − | | |
| − | If we had to write our own integration, would this make things easier?
| |
| − | | |
| − | Has a hosted option. http://onlinegroups.net/
| |
| − | | |
| − | At first glance, user manuals don’t really look all that clear or helpful.
| |
| − | Definitely has mailing list features. It actually looks quite full featured.

| |
| − | * Requires postgresql
| |
| − | * Runs on zope, with it's own dependencies.
| |
| − | * Requires running postfix for email integration.

| − | http://www.phorum.org
| |
| − | | |
| − | Written in PHP.
| |
| − | External authentication plugin, which only supports certain apps.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We would have to write our own code for making it work with Django.

| |
| − | | |
| − | http://askbot.org/en/questions/
| |
| − | | |
| − | Based on the Q&A style of StackOverflow. Non-traditional look, but very popular right now.

| − | | |
| − | Login integration details: http://askbot.org/doc/askbot-as-reusable-django-application.html
| |
| − | | |
| − | This seems to be quite an active project. Last commit was 2 days prior.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Several committers to the project and appears they have unit test written.
| |
| − | Email list integration?
| |
| − | | |
| − | ***TODO*** Intall local version to see how easy it is. Try this as an addon to OH install.

| − | '''DjangoBB'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | http://djangobb.org/
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the style of phpBB
| |
| − | Personal opinion - this style forum looks dated and wouldn’t look great with OH’s more hip style.
| |
| − | They refer to it as “classic style”.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Looks like there is only one author to this project (just a single committer, but maybe he has been accepting patches).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Last commit was 4 weeks prior.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Login integration:
| |
| − | Requires: django-authopenid and django-registration, both of which are already in the buildout requriements for OH.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Not sure how easy integraton would be.
| |

| − | http://packages.python.org/pybb/#
| |
| − | https://bitbucket.org/lorien/pybb/wiki/Home
| |
| − | | |
| − | Login integration is automatic, as this was build as a reusable app.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Has email subscription to threads, like most, but nothing specific to email list integration.
