There has been an evaluation process in the past: http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/forums and migration scripts from new-bb to phpbb are already available and ready for testing: http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/forums/newbb_to_phpbb The question is how a setup should look like, and imho something like: forums.centos.org - holding the main english forums and forums.centos.org/$LANG for language specific forums is a good solution and would match the actual wiki layout. Besides that, I still think a section within the main forum (like French CentOS support) and a multilingual forum backend should fit in first place. If the demand is getting higher a real subforum in forum of forums.centos.org/$LANG could be created. Best Regards Marcus
