You could go with Mailman (mailing list) or phpBB (web forum), both popular community systems. A lot of low-cost hosting systems come with phpBB. stock phpBB installs will likely get spammed within 30 mins of being enabled. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Both of those seem a little overkill for what I'm looking for. If you go with Fedora Core then mediawiki is included in the 'extras' repository. Do a yum install of mediawiki, it brings in mysql and apache as dependencies and does most of the setup for you. The rest can be configured on the media wiki setup page. That will probably bring you closest to a 30 minute setup. There may be some tweaking on getting it customized, but the biggest problem is how to handle registering, if it allows anonymous posting then it'll be spammed off the map in a day. Given enough time all software tends towards feature bloat. -Ross __ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

If it is wiki style then mediawiki is a good choice, stable fairly easy to setup, needs a mysql or postgres backend database, it's at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki If it is more of a Forum style check out SMF at http://www.simplemachines.org/ -Ross __ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
