[Voyage-linux] Searching for available forum

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Hermann,

Honestly, I have no plan to change to forum.  But I would like to 
evaluate one if I found a mature software that can provide a forum-like 
interface such that threads from forum can be posted to mailing-list and 
vice versa.

I agree, to some new users and those new to open source world, mailing 
list is developer-oriented and the barrier of entry is considerably high. 

Regards,
Punky
