"I need advice from people more experienced that I am with open source forum software. I am going to be setting up a forum system for computer science students from the various colleges in the area.

I have been running a closed SMF forum for my wife for a year. I wanted to solicit advice about SMF or any other systems that I may consider. I have played with phpBB but I found it labor intensive, as newly created sections are made invisible even to the admin by default, I don't want a laborious permissions system. I appreciate any advice you can give."

    Subjects should be more detailed than "Experienced Advice Needed". If I wanted that kind of thing, I'd go read Reddit. Especially considering no content is published in the RSS feed.

    As for the problem, Discourse [discourse.org] is great, GPLv2, can be self-hosted or hosted by then, and the source is on GitHub [github.com].
