Unfortunately this list is rather scanty, also (or especially) in 
activity and userbase. :-(


Since Askbot is set, wouldn't it make sense to set the Askbot <-> forum 
interaction as a main attention point?


What do I mean with interaction? *At* *least* these points:

1. Same userbase (login, password, karma, etc.)
(I guess this is self explanatory.)

2. integrated SEARCH! (at best also while typing in the thread title)
What is the point of having such a nice Askbot, when the questions still 
get asked again and again and again in the forum?. And while we are at 
it, maybe integrate also the wiki pages in the search (but I may be 
dreaming here...).

Also hasn't this (Askbot/Forum integration) done before? It just seems 
so logic for me, I can't believe none has thought of this before ...

If the interaction works nice & flawless, IMHO it would be superior 
right from the start.


Looking forward ... :-)

PS:
On http://djangopackages.com/grids/g/forums/
Askbot is also listed as forum? - probably meant in a wider sense or is 
there a hidden feature?
