         This subject has been discussed on this mailing list several times 
over the past two years. These are the best emails that I have seen on this 
subject during that time. They are listed in order of utility and relevance:

1. From Arash Kaffamanesh:  (a) 31 Oct 2004, "Setting up MVNforum in the 
same context [as] opencms 6, alpha 2."

                                 (b) 26 Jul 2004, "Forum module."

2. From Hartmann, Waehrisch, 14 Jan 2004, "Modules."

         This email mentions a forum module that is _not_ open source and 
that is (I believe) available for purchase.

3.  Integrating MVNforum or Jforum:

                 http://opencms-forum.de/viewtopic.php?t=410&highlight=integrating+mvnforum

                 The penultimate post in this web thread mentions Jforum, 
and the poster claims that he integrated OpenCMS with Jforum.

4. From Marcus Redeker, 1 Sep 2003, "Forum."

5. Alex Londkevich, 23 Mar 2003, "Two-level backoffice."

Finally, remember that there are two OpenCMS modules that offer features 
relevant to communities, to wit, the module for a mailing list manager and 
the module for polls and surveys. See, too, the calendar module by Rene 
Hinojosa. You can find some of these modules in the "module sandbox" at 
OpenCMS.org.
