===Some requirements for Mageia Forums===
~- use a free (as in freedom) forum engine see http://opensource.org/
~- international forum uses english language
~- official & non-official local forums can be linked from forum.mageia.org
~- perhaps use openid to permit a single login (SSO) at least among official forums / bugzilla / ideas / wiki
~- official forums may be hosted on mageia's own infrastructure once it's available
~- CSS are welcome to enhance the appearance
~- structure of the forum has yet to be defined (sub-forums, localized forums)
~- moderators team will come in time, just be patient :)
===ideas drafts===
~- Provide unique way to have news about Mageia withouth need of "one again" copy-paste for comm team (social media integration ? identi.ca, facebook, twitter, diaspora)
~- not "numbers of post" status (usual configurations of forum plateforms by default: please not)
~- no custom signatures, permit only technical references, no externals logos
~- topic notes possibilities, allowing enhancements without moderators intervention than their own notes
~- no externals logos, no hosting images. Strict usages of.
~- Integration of requirement to present strict subject topic according to strict guidelines. Post refused if subject topic does not respect guidelines to ensure clean organization and historical
===Analysis of existing forums===
check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software_(PHP)
http://www.forum-software.org/forum-comparator/fudforum-vs-ipboard-vs-phpbb3-vs-punbb
to be completed:
phpBB - GPL
~- Well know by web team !
~- Many translations
~- Ajax integration
~- No Message Rating
myBB - GPL
~-
~-
...
FUDforum - GPL - (need many translation, big works but interesting for project too)
~- Need to be translated in many languages : big works but interesting for project too, but big works
~- No social network integration : need to duplicate informations for comm' team :(
~- check extensions available and how well they are maintained
~- No user accounts integration (as openID or ldap)
~- Have Message Rating !!
Citadel - GPL v3 - Not really a forum (Old BBS style by defaults, provide forums, chats, rooms and mails solution) Not really forum but certainly deserves to be evaluate too.
~- Forums
~- Ajax wui
~- Jabber XMPP integration
~- Perl modules possibilities :)
~- Chats rooms, worksgroups rooms, ...
~- BBS old school

~- http://www.citadel.org/doku.php/installation:easyinstall:easyinstall:homebrew (or easy-intall)
==Mods PHPbb==
~- SEO (?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization
~- auto-archiving
~- "Solved" Button
===Analysis of several wiki===
http://wikkawiki.org/MediaWikiComparison missing PostgreSQL support :/ lack of interface translation (english by default, that will do...)
http://www.wikimatrix.org/compare/DokuWiki+MediaWiki+PmWiki+Tiki-Wiki-CMS-Groupware+WikiNi+WikkaWiki
=== Structure ===
Identify current structure needed, keeping in mind a global structure (sub-forums can be opened when needed).
~- Support
~~- Get and install Mageia
~~- Hardware
~~- Software
~- International community support :
problem of SSO authentication for external forums, will be not trivial
~~- German: mageiausers.de
~~- English: on the site ? forum.mageia.com, www.mandrivausers.org if they have a new name ?
~~- Espanol: Blogdrake.net ? (problem of the name?)
~~- French: MLO ? aide aux débutant ?? problem of the name and technical level, not only newbies will use forums. Ash : not problems, as mlo will change name, and also want to evoluate to multiple level support. name would be mageia-online.net ;-)
~- Development and contribution
~~- Packaging
~~- Cauldron, the next version of Mageia
~~- Spreading Mageia, Communication and website
~~- Collaboration with other distro
~~- Managing communities around Mageia
~~- Mageia art
~- Community and End Users
~~- News and announcements
~~- Free Chat ( a priori moderation, to limit troll) [muny note : please reserve this one for each community forum. Not freechat on this one] ash : I think mandrivausers.de has the best way of seeing fre chat just tell this forum can have trolls or useless topic. if you don't like it, don't go.
