<DIV><SPAN class=846504221-07072006><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Again, though, the
issue is that forums are one feature of one kind of community. I've set up
almost a dozen drupal sites and only three used forums. Six used blogging
features, four included content aggregation. Ten needed the links.module
APIs.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=846504221-07072006><FONT face=Verdana size=2>This all comes
back to the question we've talked about before: what is 'core'? I think that
focusing on APIs, infrastructure, and toolkits in 'core' is the best bet.
Repackaging the current lineup of 'core' modules as a Drupal install profile,
perhaps a 'turnkey web community', is the approach we need to move
towards.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><BR>I disagree with removing the forum.module. Drupal's slogan is
"community plumbing" which actually implies that you can create a community
site (WITH a forum) out of the box.<BR><BR>Konstantin
