Yes - I was thinking of phpBB, which Nic Dafis has done a translation for 
(well, the user bits anyway).  If you'd like to look at a few and come back 
to the list with a recommendation for getting one set up, please do.  

The only issue with BBs is that they really need people answering queries as 
well as asking them :-), otherwise they can look a bit stale.  And I always 
find them a pain to navigate through - they're so slow compared to email.  
But you're right in that this would allow a more structured approach to 
queries.
