Here are some sample resources I put up:

________________________________________________________________________


1. Wordpress with the awesome K2 theme:

http://revcoders.org/this-is-the-awesome-k2-theme-for-wordpress/

This is a simple, elegant, yet powerful system.


Benefits:

    * could be a wiki, with shared pages, edited by all
    * each developer can have their own blog
    * news
    * FAQs
    * can be extensively customized
    * AJAX powered fast search
    * fast commenting and replying
    * developer pages
    * uploaded files
    * custom fields

To log in as an admin and check out the admin interface, click here: http://revcoders.org/wp-login.php

user = admin
password = admin

Click “Write” and you’re off and running!

Please add a comment to this page to try it out and let everyone know what you think.

2. A true Wiki:

Even though I prefer Wordpress as a wiki, this does have versioning as an advantage- you can see who changed what and when, and revert...

I also installed Vanilla forums:

and Simple Machines forums:

Depending on the real need, a Wiki might work well. If so, the Wiki project Andre Garzia showed off at RevCon West 2006 in Monterey last week might be
good enough or a great start.

It would be hard to rival the simplicity of using phpBB. Most cPanel-based hosting providers enable you to click a couple buttons and have the forum
up
and running in less than 5 minutes. Plus, phpBB has a deep feature set, dozens of plug-ins for extra features, and an active support community. Customizing them often means learning a little PHP though. There are many
options besides phpBB. (Everyone has their favorite forum software.)

It might be more fun/rewarding to build your own forum software using the
Rev CGI though :)
