I'm looking for a bulletin board or community message board system
that my extended family can use. If you know of one that meet my
requirements, I'd appreciate it if you'd post a comment here to tell
me about it.
My requirements are:
- as simple to use as Yahoo! Groups
- supports message threading
- supports pictures in postings
- runs under thttpd or provides its own web server (Apache is too complicated for me)
- users have to register with name, e-mail address
- anonymous cowards prohibited from posting
- no moderation required
- doesn't require MySQL (optional)
- requires little or no tweeking to make it ready for use
The thttpd requirement excludes PHP solutions. It probably limits me
to cgi-bin.
I'm playing with two
Zope products,
CMF and
Squishdot.
They're both pretty nice but the don't meet my requirements.
If there is an easy way to make them do it, I'd like to know about it.
CMF is too complicated to use. Posting a message requires too many
choices from the user. You don't post directly to the board.
Instead, you publish something on your own, private space within CMS
and it magically finds its way into a thread.
Squishdot doesn't have user registration. Anyone can post. It will
take a little bit of work to make it look right. By default, a
Squishdot site looks like the main Squishdot site, with the Squishdot
logo and everything.
