Personally I like phpbb the most, purely because it is so widely used and easy to use. Granted, it had some widely publicized vulnerabilities a while back, but any application that is so widely used will eventually be hacked.
I know the developers are not the biggest fans of bb's. Fair enough, but I can see value in having three elements all working together here:
- Mailing Lists - For immediate communication and development related
threads. 2. Wiki - Documentation & tracking of new features and 'how to's' 3. BB - For support, questions, and general discussion.
It may seem like too much now, but I think we have all seen applications following this sort of model, all very successfully.
I don't think rcube in its current form is ready for the 'general' public. The project status is marked as Alpha and as so I think it's better to keep all the discussions on a mailing list for now. After all, support questions won't have usually a standard answer since many important things can change from release to release. Once it reaches a beta status a forum could then be a good place for non-techy people to find answers.
