Hi Kroc, I'm working on a small project, the {lambda way} project, a light framework built on a wiki, {lambda tank}, and a functional programming language, {lambda talk}: http://lambdaway.free.fr . I can build a page with a forum http://lambdaway.free.fr/lambdaspeech/?view=agora but it's far from being a true forum, it's nothing but a toy, without any security, not serious at all.
I wonder if your smart forum engine could be twinned with my project, and I wonder if lambdatalk could be useful as an alternative to the markup syntax.
Anyway, bravo for your work.
Best regards - Alain Marty
