''' FUD Forum'''
 
http://fudforum.org/forum/ & related wiki http://cvs.prohost.org/
 
PHP based.
 
Does appear to offer login integration through some exposed PHP APIs. Not sure how we would sync the user databases and call the PHP code from within python, but I do understand it may be generally possible (see http://www.brool.com/index.php/hacks-python-calling-php).
 
Does appear to have a mailing list integration. From the notes on the config page: You can either schedule imports or pipe messages into the forum with procmail or postfix. Having never administered a mailing list personally, I don't know quite what this would entail.
 
Appears to have a pretty active community.
 
'''Install results:'''
* Very simple to install.
* Can use mysql, postgres, oracle, etc. fairly db agnostic.
* Has a classic look (ie lots of options and configuration).
* Doesn't look like it was intended to be embedded within another site.
