Mediawiki and MoinMoin are both good, and if you're dealing with source code take a look at Trac. phpBB is pretty decent, but I haven't used it in a while. Most CMS's also include forums of some kind. I'm partial to Drupal, but there's a good selection of choices at http://www.opensourcecms.com/ , and many of the popular ones will be in the ports tree. --Andrew --Apple-Mail-787-686927588--
