  1. How Do The Various Web-Forum Engines Compare?

    psyklohps asks: "I work at a local newspaper in Dover, DE. My boss is trying to setup a forum based site that will cover local news and get responses form the community. Unfortunately bosses are not very smart, and he is trying to develop the site from scratch. So I feel that I should tell him about the forum-based-code engines that are free. Of course my first choice would be Slashcode, but after looking on Google I found alot of different engines. PHPNuke, Zope, Squish.dot, and others that I have forgotten are available. What are the pros and cons for each of them?"

  2. Web-Based Message Boards with Offline Reader?

    Biedermann asks: "I have been looking for web based messageboard for ages. The Problem is: the users should be able to log in, get the new messages, log out and read/write offline. Not everybody has low-cost-always-on-broadband access to the net. All the programs I could find were either not keeping promises or fell unmaintained years ago in beta. Is there any such beast? Or would it be possible to do such a thing with Slashcode or Squishdot? (I'm not a coder, so I don't know what it takes)" I've been thinking about writing something like this for Slashcode but haven't yet had the time. Do you all think this would be a worthwhile application?
