Proposed plan (summarized from above forum discussion):
:# Set up a testing instance of phpbb3.
:#Traditional forum setup, which will likely be supported out of the box.
:#Skin it to integrate with site at open-emr.org (the header and footer, which will make it appear to be fully integrated into the site).
:#Integrate Mailing List Features:
::*Users can subscribe to individual forums and/or globally subscribe to all forums.
::*When subscribed, the full message is emailed to the user.
:::*A user can reply to this message via email.
::*A user can post a new message via email.
::*If phpbb3 sends email in html format, also need to send a text counterpart via multipart/alternative messages with a text/plain part and a text/html part.
:#Consider integrating a bug tracker with the forum, if possible (to avoid needing to login to each separately).
::*As the forum, have an option to receive, respond to posts, and make new posts through email.
:#Place all sourceforge forum material on the new phpbb3 forum.
::*Ensure can provide linkable clicks in the description/comments to improve integration with github/git.
:#Migrate the testing site to it's new server/home. Requirements of this server will be reliability in both internet connection and emailing (since it will be a mailing list focus, can not lose any emails).
:#Shut down and redirect the sourceforge forums to the new forum.
