basic reason on why I brought this up now. 1. promote django 2. latest security patch for phpBB was just announced
3. and I think the world does need a alternative designed with security in mind from the start. 4. lack of non-PHP solutions. I know of several people who refuse to put php code on their servers 5. most 'community' style applications would need a 'forum' component. having one which is directly pluggable into the django way of doing things would allow easier integration with other django components like for example a review and rating component, or a tagging component, or a CMS component. so ideally if this actually came off, and was usable I can see developing other 'parts' to a generic 'community' application which could be use.
