 > Neat, and certainly tempting. If we want integration with the website
 then seems like a good option, though does it support m2f or something
 similar? I have a bias toward open source options like phpbb but besides
 that email list integration is, imho, mandatory. As you've said in the
 past our current development community uses (and prefers) email so
 anything that requires us to keep an eye on a web page isn't likely to
 fare well.

 I argue that email integration is exactly what we do not want. The irc
 community is different from the tor- mailing list community, will be
 different from the forum community. The people who call in for support or
 questions is different from irc and email.  The forum community should
 stand on its own. I prefer free software solutions as well, but my
 preference for one less thing to maintain is stronger right now.
