     I don't want to setup a webboard on my server, my connection is temporary. In 6
years it will be definitly gone, if I die or get kicked out of the university,
even earlier :) But I have a much, much, much better idea.
Use SourceForge!!!
It has a public forum, bug tracking system, tech support manager, doc manager,
patch manager, task manager, surveys, CVS repository with webbrowser interface,
anonymous FTP space,etc [insert standard SourceForge advocacy here]. Let others
(sourceforge staff) do the technical maintainance, they are fulltime skilled
people.
Their mailinglist facilities look very good. We have a few mailinglists now,
but when I read things about a 6 day index building time (maybe I don't get it),
I get the idea that things are wrong.

Almost everything is there, only have to use it :)
