Just tossing this out as a point of interest

http://forum.kde.org/

Multi language, single phpBB forum and the KDE guys have made all their
mods available for use under GPL.
But it doesn't seem to have a "show recent posts" functionality.
You must be logged in.

Anyway - another larg-ish (2+ Million posts) phpBB based site is the
joomla forums[1] using sub-forums for languages and quite a few of them.
I'm not a fan of their layout or theme however

Also - the kde site offers some other interesting ideas, particularly
what they did building their own BrainStorm board.[2]

So, even if we did not go with phpBB I think looking at some of these
other sites.

Need to go deal with some 'day job' issues - will come back to this
later.

ps - any chance to get those language packs installed today?

I've looked at both these forums and a couple of others that the phpBB site highlights. I think the Kde-style of presentation is what would best suit our purposes. I like the treatment of the International Language (Localized) forums that are treated as sub-forums and obviously these sub-forums are able to put into place the type of forums/topics they choose which, again, is ideal for our purposes.

The international forums landing site should really give users the feeling of a full-service forums that is axed on community. I really believe that we need to work on community building and the LibreOffice forums is a place where users would be able to find sections for help; where they can offer their opinions/suggestions on how to make a better product; voice their opinions on how great of a software package is LibreOffice, as well as, "vent" their frustrations with the product.

It sounds like there are enough past-OOo members who could already identify the necessary forums/topics needed before opening the forums to the public.

But, yes the Kde forums layout, to me, seems to suit the best at this point.

Cheers,

Marc
