Forum applications, or message boards, are server programs where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. They differ from chat rooms in that messages are at least temporarily archived. Also, depending on the access level of a user or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes visible.

Drupal camp day 1 begins! I’ll be doing my best to update this blog post ‘live’ from the day. There was a lot to absorb yesterday at the open for business conference, and I wrote *a lot*, but there’s going to be even more to absorb today, so I expect there will be even less time to keep up with the writing!
After a familiar but much quieter drive into Manchester compared with my trek yesterday, the day kicked off with a great keynote from Sensio Labs.
This was an eye opener regarding not just symfony (and we now know where that ‘f’ comes from!) but the plethora of other tools frameworks and platforms that are becoming common place and invaluable. Various ‘shows of hands’ for some of these were very encouraging!
