Re: JSR-168 port of phpBB Forums, anyone interested?
Yes, JForums is really another Java port of phpBB. Thank you very much for the link :-)
Would anybody be interested in porting JForums to a JSR-168 portlet application?

Re: JSR-168 port of phpBB Forums, anyone interested?
Posted by Jeff Linwood <je...@greenninja.com>.

JSR-168, but I will also look at the source code for JForum to see which
