I wasn't going to comment on this, but jive software has built a whole 
one-stop-shop community platform.  (integrates ml with forums.. etc..) 
We (OSUNIX community) were granted a developer license and even though I 
doubt it would be the preferred solution I'd happily host the nginx 
community.  The current limitation to this being that ml + forums won't 
be synced until we're self hosting the smtp stuff.  The guys/gals at 
jivesofter are great, but I know the sticky point is mostly that many 
projects/people don't like to use non-foss stuff.  (JIRA being another 
example which is great, but not foss.)  Just thought I'd toss some extra 
ideas out there instead of more php spaghetti encumbering the world.

Thanks
