Easiest thing would be to set up phpBB or similar forum software, then recruit a few neighbors to moderate.
There is no point in applying more technology -- all the
value will come from the users (if you can get them).
- palmsdev 17y agoI agree. Our town has a website with forum section for all of the residents powered by phpBB.. While it isn't the perfect platform, it's a great way for residents to exchange a variety of information. I find myself on here every day for a variety of reasons and it's become a really valuable tool for many, many people in our town. Here is a screenshot of the categories that were created for us: http://client.palmsdevelopment.com/frontporch.png http://client.palmsdevelopment.com/frontporch.png I would also look at Vanilla forums as an alternative to phpBB: http://vanillaforums.org/ http://vanillaforums.org/ Hope this helps!
- garnet7 17y agoThis is what I was going to suggest. 1. choose a canned forum package, 2. install and configure it, 3. find some moderators; show them how to admin the site and make backups I've never used phpBB so cannot recommend it. Edit: maybe have a look at [mwForum](http://www.mwforum.org/ http://www.mwforum.org/).
