I think that phpBB is a super idea either way. It would be cooler if it were hosted by Apache, but if not, it is still a great idea.
I have yet to see any other forum package that was as easy or intuitive. Not to poopoo jive, but, well, it looks kind of limited compared to phpBB. Sure, it is Java, but...who cares? ;-) IMO, the forums are not for Apache or Java. They are for the community. If it breaks some rules but better serves the community, let's do it.

I'm not sure if we'd be breaking some rules if we were to do that. Also, once the ibatis list is archived by apache it will be searchable. I just think forums and phpBB in specific are a better solution for searching. I've never been completely satisfied with any of the archiving solutions.
