Thanks Jeff.

It looks like it supports the basic functionality of a typical forum based 
application and includes a very nice modern jQuerry based UI.  The user 
reputation system is configurable and is based on both posts and karma. 
One of more interesting features is the ability to import RSS feeds into 
the forums.  We could potentially use that feature to give more exposure 
to the wiki pages (by adding RSS to moinmoin) and possibly to the mailing 
lists via a mailing list to rss feed.  Depending on how we decide to use 
it a xenforo based site could allow us to create a central location for 
OpenStack content creation notification as well as for discussions and 
general Q and A.

I put up a simple OpenStack oriented forum demo at:

Feel free to login as admin and poke around (admin/admin).

That said, vBulletin is more mature and hence feature rich and their new 
"publishing suite" has some very nice features.

Once we get past the software selection process taxonomy is the next topic 
we should discuss.
