Discussion Forum Question

Does anyone know how I can setup a discussion forum just like this one? Is there an addon I can get? What is the best discussion forum addon? I installed the DiscussionForumAddOn but it doesn't seem be the same thing as this. Thanks.

Also, is using TWiki as a discussion forum a good idea?

There are several answers to your question.

• Do ThreadMode discussions using the CommentPlugin
• Use ThreadedDiscussionPlugin
• Run blog using the BlogPlugin

But remember that Wikis are not specialized for this kind of knowledge transfer. Wikis only become more valuable than e-mails, bulletin boards or blogs by intelligent WikiRefactoring.

Anyway, of course it's a good idea to use TWiki, as it is the swiss knife for all kind of (technical) communication and it's fun.
