I just think that all information should be easily available in 1 place (centos.org) through a common interface. And when you look at Xoops (or other content engines), it has forums, news management, and documentation built in.
As someone who was also bothered by this webfora disease recently, i think this is an interesting thread. I also never understood what's so great about webfora. I still like 'nn' where I can use vim to edit my messages and where read posts are not shown again. So integrating NNTP and a webforum seems promising and I took a look at http://www.xoops.org/ Lots of informations. (it seems one of these CMS things, and ofcourse using that toy database instead of PostgreSQL)
Maybe I didn't look long enough but I can't find accurate information about the NNTP thing. Is there indeed a way to do both? And does that mean posts to either NNTP or the web are showing up in the other?
And how does this 'newbb' compare to phpbb or SMF which seems to be the two big webfora players at the moment?
