GAE Forum

[iain]

Does anyone know of a forum that could be easily embedded in a GAE
app. Surely lots of the site's being built on this platform would
benefit greatly from an in-built forum app?

Putting phpbb in an iframe isn't really a great way to go since it
will require an external server to host both the php code and the
mysql server. I've tried searching for python-coded forums but havent
found anything promising. So I was wondering if any coders had plans
to build a forum in python, and better still one that could easily
integrate with any GAE app using the datastore and users api.

I'm no python guru but I would be willing to help out if there was
such a project.

I plan to, assuming some things work out. It'll be a couple weeks more before i can have my test online though.. keep in mind mine is not a "forum", but a more generic system.

I've got two forum-like projects that I've made, http://pytxt.appspot.com
and http://pyib.appspot.com

If you're interested, the source code for PyIB can be found on its
code page, and if you want the source of pytxt, I can post it
somewhere.

Thanks, or how do you say it, "many internets to you sir" for the
source.

http://pyib.appspot.com/ is a very nice work

have you ever think to create an os project on http://code.google.com/hosting/
about it ?

There is one. Under the post creation form, look for the linked text
"Code Page".

I just released a forum like app on GAE named fora (fora.appspot.com).
The main idea is using tags to classify topics instead divide forums
into boards like most other internet forums, and enhance tags with
some basic semantic like same as, broader than, narrower than to make
tagging more simply and fetching information more accurately.

iain, your thought inspired me, maybe you can embedded fora into your
application(before this, I must make fora more embedded friendly), and
what your job is just maintain a list of tags you concern and the
topics relative to this tags. I did no make more in-depth thinking, is
this type of mashup doable? Is there any problem when making cross-
domain call in GAE? Hope guru make some explanation for I am a python
newbie too and didn't experienced in web 2.0.

have you released source code for fore?
