I really like pyforum and consider it the best available web2py app out there.
However Google Groups has worked well - no downtime, low amount of spam, good search support, email updates, etc. (It is a much better system than Yahoo Groups.) Is pyforum ready for all that? And I like with Google Groups that I can use my existing Google account and not have to remember another password. Are there plans to add OpenID support to pyforum? Also what would be done about the discussions created until now? Could they be exported? Because I personally use this group more for searching old threads with the same problem as me than asking new questions. If people are keen on pyforum perhaps the new python-developers mailing list could try it first.
