+Forum
+-----
+
+* Add "forum" feature to foundation. Allows commenting on products and
+ also as a byproduct arbitrary blog-style forums.
+
+ This is a complete forum display:
+
+ [forum top=3DTHREAD_ID /]
+
+ You can get more complex than that. There is an illustration of the
+ templated version in the pages/forum/display.html page.
+
+ Disabled by default for DBM and Oracle. No database def is
+ supplied for Oracle.
+
+ With Postgres and MySQL, the forum is displayed in the flypage
+ automatically by default. The thread doesn't exist until the
+ first comment is made, at which time we create a top-level thread
+ named for the SKU.
+
+ An email notification goes out with new comments if that is
+ enabled.
+
+ There is some scoring logic for display, but no way to assign
+ scores yet (except by editing the database directly).
+
+ The reply and submit pages use include files from include/forum.
+
+ Arbitrary forums need to be enabled by setting the artid equal
+ to the code. If the artid is 0, as is the default on a random
+ submit, no display will be done. (The enabling is done automatically
+ for products by passing the product=3D1 parameter in the URL and
+ finding the product in the database.)
