Orca Interactive Forum Script is an interactive Web-based forum script that is based on AJAX technology,
In the world of accelerating technologies you dont want archaic forum software. You want something new, fresh, classy, stylish and sexy - just like Orca.
Orca introduces a new approach to building online discussion boards. The main focus in Orca is given to self-moderation - it provides tools to build a community without -moderators or administrators. It gives true freedom.
Main features:
AJAXy
- AJAX is cool and trendy, but whats more important - it makes web apps work better. Orca is an AJAX forums script, using AJAX exactly where it should be used. This brings unique user experiences and considerable server load savings.
Self-ruling
- Forums need close attention to run smoothly. Orca doesnt. We built Orca as a self-moderated community script, which can work effectively without any moderators whatsoever. This is the main difference, and Orca will be getting better at it.
Integratable
- You might already have a website, and it might already have a good database of users. Orca is remarkably easy to integrate with your existing user database. You just add it to your site, and it accepts existing members with their photos and passwords.
GPL-licensed
- Free community needs a free forum script. Orca is completely free, open-source and free in terms of licensing. It is distributed under GPL license, which should uncover its potential and make it #1 forum software on the net.
Enhancements:
- This release added a live post tracker, "Sticky" topics, an advanced WYSIWYG post editor, a "Reply with quote" option, and wider support for hosting setups.

SimpleForum provides a simple Plone forum.

This product provides a simple Plone forum application for cases where you cannot or do not need to setup a full-featured sophisticated product such as Ploneboard (this might be the case if you are still tied to Plone 2.0.x).

SKForum project is a forum application with a Wiki, comic system, guestbook, and address book.
SKForum is an open source (see licensing) web-based J2EE forum application. But its so much more, its a comic system, an addressbook, a wiki, a timetracking system, a todo list, a poll system, a guestbook system and a few other small nuts and bolts.
SKForum was first taken into use in september of 2000. By july of 2001 it had grown to 6 464 lines of code, and at october 2003 it is at 49 067 lines total. Of these 37 596 are java source file lines.
Internationalization
SKForum has i18n support and supports the following languages:
- English (US)
- Swedish (SE)
- French (FR)
Installation howto
1. Install mysql.
2. Create a database in mysql called "forum".
3. Install Java 2 SDK
4. Install a J2EE servlet container, I recommend Resin 2.x (it is also a webserver and can be integrated with IIS or Apache if you want)
5. Get the SKForum WAR file.
6. Make sure theres no caching done on the forum, resin for example has a default caching setting, remove the part of the config.
7. Install the forum as a toplevel app. It will currently not work unless "/" leads to its own top level.
8. Set up the data sources. If needed install the JDBC driver in the servlet container (get the mysql driver here).
Setup data source in Resin 2.x
Setup data source in Resin 3.x
Setup data source in Orion
9. This step only if you do not use Resin: If you use tomcat, remove web.xml and rename tomcat-web.xml to web.xml. Otherwise comment out the parts of web.xml that is marked "resin specific" that your server does not support.
10. Get the mysql jdbc driver and put it in your app servers lib directory.
11. Login with the username and password you want for the admin account. The first person who logs into the forum will get full rights and be set up as admin by default.
