Thats one of issues high on the list for www.centos.org-2.0

we have developers around who know the xoops codebase, we could
potentially transition the existing data over. I suppose a final result
would/could be that have the forums, but still allow people to gateway
it via an email interface ( sort of the thing that FUDforum lets you do
now ).

there was discussion at the time, about integrating forums and mailing
lists - but circumstances were such that the decision was made to go
ahead with the system, as it is now.
