Well why did you bother asking if you weren't actually prepared to do anything? (Actually, if this is your attitude, why did they ask you in the first place?)
It is by far the simplest, most robust, forum option available and in all the years I've used it (for various online sports simulation sites) I've never needed to do anything to it once it was set up. As for the users, if they can email they have more than enough of a skill base to operate it without the need for anything approaching a manual.

Jeez,
Nobody asked me to do anything, I have seen a problem and I asked here if there is something free that could help, of course I was thinking on something else you could not know that...
I'm simply tired to see papers hanging everywhere and if something free, already done and working would work I would propose them to use that, but no, I'm not prepared to give technical support, I'm not prepared to maintain anything... Something like "google calendar" look much more interesting to me by now... Imagine that... people hear Google and doesn't run... try to tell them they'll have to use phpBB and see what happen.
I can see you are novice here in CP land, but put attention to the icons at the beginning of the posts... the one with a paper and a smiling face means joke.
I guess that if you would have to make a robot to go 10 mm to the right at a certain speed (which takes less than 10 seconds to be done) it would take you a little bit more time, at least to find out how to start with it, find manuals and so... To me that phpBB is the same thing...

Someone down here in NZ created a web service called "Neighbourly". It provides posting of requests for help, watchdog alerts and giveaways. I get a daily summary of activity for my neighbourhood only. If I want to join in the discussion, I can at my leisure. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find similar services elsewhere.
The difficult may take time, the impossible a little longer.

Its not software but just get them to actually talk to each other (best done over a pint(change to drink of choice) down the pub)
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start

I think this is the option that would work best... as far as I see everything else would be too complicated...

I've not yet tried it myself, but what you describe sounds very much like what Trello[^] has been designed to do. It's web-based and appears to have very few limitations regarding what you can share (and organize) with it. Add some code-sharing platform like Github and you're good to go.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Hi Joan, I've tried to dig up some info you can persuse without actually having to sign up. I've found this screenshot[^] to be pretty impressive. it's taken from this article[^]. Have fun!

Git Hub can cover the first 3 -- share data, complaints and problems.
Google Calendar can cover making meetings.
WhatsApp Web --> which is the desktop version of WhatsApp. (if you don't like going the celphone route)

Way too lazy. They should use telnet and ftp.

Our neighborhood uses Nextdoor. It is advertised as a private social network for your neighborhood. I didn't set it up, nor do I know all of it's ins and outs, but it seems like a good tool to communicate with your neighbors. You can check it out at
http://nextdoor.com/[^]

If your group is organized geographically, such as a local neighborhood, you may want to check out NextDoor. I'm not sure if it can do everything you're looking for, but it definitely covers some of your needs.

Few days back my keyboard keys started sticking, can't really complain because it lasted whooping 14+ years.
Ordered the very same keyboard again (TVS-e Bharat Gold PS2 Keyboard[^]) and the good thing is, nothing really changed (except now the color is black instead of white + grey) same rock solid mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Blue switches. This is the closest you can get with those awesome IBM Keyboards on 486 computers [insert nostalgic smiley].
And even crazy it only costs ~ $30.00
I wanted to purchase the 'das keyboard'[^], but the newest model is not available in India. But I am very happy with this keyboard.
Do you code using a PS2 Mechanical Keyboard? Which keyboard do you use?
Grrrr.... How is any of the above is spam / abusive ?

Since I switched from Amiga to PC, I never had anything else than a Cherry MX 3000[^] (or very similar) - my notion of "Das Keyboard". The current one is the second in >20 years.
edit: Yes, it's a PS/2 
(Not my desk, not my other keyboard)

Years ago I bought an IBM PC and started to use the keyboard that came with it...
Now that I've bought a Lenovo laptop to be my main development machine I got a Lenovo Preferred USB Keyboard, which is exactly the same I got from IBM a lot of years ago, probably the keys are a little bit stronger and I need to make some extra force to make them to go down, but this is something time will surely solve... I love the layout and size of the keyboard. and of course I've changed it from the old one as the old one had a PS2 plug that was not available on my brand new shiny (but not working very well) docking station.

hooleeshiiii
And i thought my Keyboard was expensive, that "dasKeyboard" (yeah fine German engineering) is way more expensive than mine was -> Logitech G15 (first Version)[^] I think i remember it to cost around 80€, and well my baby survived some loads of coca cola, beer, wine and schnaps. Still runns like the first day (thanks to mechanical keys). 10 Years now whoop whoop!
