[ubuntu-uk] Forums software recommendations

[Paul Tansom]

OK, this isn't strictly on topic for a Ubuntu forum, but since there has
been a good discussion related I thought I might get some good answers
here. It will probably be considered an odd request given my last post
relating to fora!

Anyway, what forum software do people recommend? I have been running a
PHPBB based forum, but it needs to be rebuilt on a new server and I'd
like to consider the options. Ideally it would be Perl based rather than
PHP, or maybe Python, but I'm not set on any language if the end result
is good. Another requirement, on the main reason for posting here, is
that I'd like to include a gateway to a mailing list, such that posts
via either method get onto the opposing format. Oh, and import of PHPBB
data would be helpful too :)
