You don't want to do that with PhpBB.  Trust me, I've tried.

When you say "extant lojban web boards", what are you talking about?

Is there something wrong with the mail <-> forum gatewaying TikiWiki
already has?  This is how the wikidiscuss list works, for example;
we can make a TikiWiki forum that mirrors a mailing list whenever

well.  I have a client with *very* high-volume mailing lists relying
on it.
