how to build a forum?

[kath]

Hi everybody,

I am planning to build a web portal, which is mainly a discussion
forum for our corporate environment. I want to implement it with
Python. Because this project is very new to me and I have no idea
about how to go about this. I searched in google for getting some tuts/
guidelines about this but ended up in getting tuts for building
website.

I would like to know some useful links to learn or some usefull
guidelines.

I would appreciate your help,
Thanks in advance,
kath.

Without wishing to dampen your enthusiasm, it seems like you are putting
the cart before the horse here if the goal is "build a web portal".
Could it be that the real goal is to learn Python, and the web portal is
a vehicle for that?

If not then you should use one of many already-extant web portals (you
could surely find one written in Python if necessary) rather than
developing one from scratch? Nuxeo comes to mind, but they've now
switched from Python to Java ...
