I don't know if anyone in the consortium has experience writing forums ?
I was just reading this : http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/5-best-forum-plugins-for-wordpress/
But I have experience with none of them ... - Owner
We need to push this forward ASAP. I would push for Discourse (https://www.discourse.org/) but I need help to convince Eamonn to install this in the Igor. Any server available in IRCAM for this?

Discourse is looks good, for sure. I think it's important to use something we can administer ourselves. At Goldsmiths, that's a WP plugin.
@rebeccaf Are you using a plugin that you like on wekinator.org?

I think we're letting the great be the enemy of the good in this case. I keep answering questions in private channels (email, slack...) that would be better handled once in a forum.
Discourse looks great, but we don't have the resources at Goldsmiths to install and maintain it.
I'm going to install bbPress today or tomorrow unless anybody objects: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/

I already installed Discourse on DigitalOcean. We have it for free for the next 5 months. After that is up to the project managers to decide what to do
You can access it here http://178.62.18.201/. All we have to do is link it to RAPIDMIXAPI.com and define the structure of categories, invitation and comm strategy
