I need to quickly setup a temporary BBS/message board system for the fires in San Diego. We just want people to post if they have rooms available. So I'm looking for a a very simple and easy to get running BBS system. Any suggestions?

If it is wiki style then mediawiki is a good choice, stable fairly easy to setup, needs a mysql or postgres backend database, it's at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki If it is more of a Forum style check out SMF at http://www.simplemachines.org/ -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

You could go with Mailman (mailing list) or phpBB (web forum), both popular community systems. A lot of low-cost hosting systems come with phpBB.
