[thelist] community/message board tools

[Shifra Raffel]

Hi all,
Starting a new job with UC Berkeley (I used to post to this list from my
job at Oxygen before my site went belly-up).

Anybody have good (or bad!) experience to report with message
board/threaded discussion tools, anything from Zope to Slash to Web Crossing?

The platform is still uncertain -- we will definitely be not using a
Microsoft product, we'll probably be using Apache on Linux (we have a
strong request to use ACS -- probably not going to happen). As for our
needs, we need to allow people to trade information in a threaded format
and preferably have the ability to get alerts when someone else posts to
their topic. Thanks very much for any input.
