Discussion forum

[mapto]

This task is part of what was suggested as a separate project, so please don't work on it, unless you want to do the project as announced on the UCL website.

Enable comments on:

• incidents
• policy contexts
• interventions
  Possibly in future also on:
• policy items
• policy combinations

How to know when ready:
each of the topic items should have a small icon, that expands when clicked into a forum thread with input box

web2py might be an option for setting up a forum system (if I got the whole concept what is needed right).

what I personally found interesting:

web2py vs joomla: http://vschart.com/compare/web2py/vs/joomla ,
which mainly states it's fully python-based and fully scalable web framework

web2py-based forum example: http://pyforum.org/pyforum/default/index,
source code is included

I think web2py might conflict with webpy (not sure, but webpy certainly tries to control the whole web server).
I haven't done the research, but thought that forum would be one of the examples that any platform would have.
Now when I tried to search for it, I realized that it is difficult to find examples, because Google gets "web.py forum" the wrong way :)
