[Sotff] TikiWiki forums?

[Joe Yeti]

Hmmmm...
I guess it depends largely on the Forum setup and capabilities... I
tend to keep track of what happens on a Forum via an RSS reader, which
delivers all new Topics/Replies to my application. Unfortunately I
dont know if the TikiWiki Forum could be set-up for Email delivery on
ANYTHING new (apart from RSS).

True, RSS collecting means another application needs to be running.
But in case you are running an RSS reader for other Feeds (as I do,
roughly 30 of them), this does not count as a new one ;)

So indeed, it comes down to personal tastes.
