[Mediawiki-l] Forums inside wiki ?

[Bass, Joshua L]

I have run across a vbulletin forum inside the mediawiki skin also. I
can't seem to find it again, but I know that it has the mediawiki
sidebar left of the forums, which is my main concern. Google is not my
friend today.

Well, apart from looking rather broken in my browser, that site
appears to have used a CMS called Mambo which incorporates forums and
a wiki - so it's not so much a forum within the wiki, as a forum and a
wiki both within something else. Whether MediaWiki is something that
comes with Mambo normally, or they've hacked it in there, I can't make
out - there doesn't seem to be a straight-forward feature list on the
mambo homepage - but basically, they've skinned both so that they look
like they go together.
