I have installed a forum on the Live Sound Wiki site. It is not yet open to the public, but it will be soon. I used a simple scripts install of phpBB 3.03. The installation was quick and painless. The configuration work that I have done so far was also smooth. The documentation is much better than I found with the wiki software. I haven’t looked much at the WordPress documentation. The site family look, while not totally satisfactory at this time, was easy with the help of the knowledge base. I got separate tracking installed for the forum. I placed one google adsense box on the view post pages.

There is still a bit to do. I need cross links to the wiki and the Mixing Live Sound pages. I also will need external links in to the forum when I go live with it from the Live Sound Wiki home page and from the Mixing Live Sound home page. I will probably also announce it on the AudioArt Sound site. Then there are all of the administrative tasks that must be attended to before I invite visitors into my new house.

I am sure that there are other tasks to accomplish with regard to this project. I will think of them as I go along. Then there is the wiki to populate with articles, and Mixing Live, and. . . . .
