Hi all,
       Although I've been following u'r discussions for some-time now & 
do find the whole affair quite interesting & entertaining. As never been 
a developer there had never been an opportunity to contribute in any 
meaningful way. Anyway as per your needs, there are few things you could 
look at. For forum another software which is quite good could be found 
at www.simplemachines.org . Also phBB has been upgraded to 2.0.18 & it 
promises to fix many things. Although personally like simplemachines.org 
for the kind of customization it offers to administrators & users alike. 
Also it has its own well-developed forum for support is just an icing to 
the cake.
           The next thing is the mediawiki thing, I've done some small 
edits in wikipedia & like the way its structured.  So as a user would 
recommend also that one. The rest is unto u to chose what fits best.
                                    Keep up the good work!
