Well why did you bother asking if you weren't actually prepared to do anything? (Actually, if this is your attitude, why did they ask you in the first place?) It is by far the simplest, most robust, forum option available and in all the years I've used it (for various online sports simulation sites) I've never needed to do anything to it once it was set up. As for the users, if they can email they have more than enough of a skill base to operate it without the need for anything approaching a manual.
Jeez, Nobody asked me to do anything, I have seen a problem and I asked here if there is something free that could help, of course I was thinking on something else you could not know that... I'm simply tired to see papers hanging everywhere and if something free, already done and working would work I would propose them to use that, but no, I'm not prepared to give technical support, I'm not prepared to maintain anything... Something like "google calendar" look much more interesting to me by now... Imagine that... people hear Google and doesn't run... try to tell them they'll have to use phpBB and see what happen. I can see you are novice here in CP land, but put attention to the icons at the beginning of the posts... the one with a paper and a smiling face means joke. I guess that if you would have to make a robot to go 10 mm to the right at a certain speed (which takes less than 10 seconds to be done) it would take you a little bit more time, at least to find out how to start with it, find manuals and so... To me that phpBB is the same thing... X|

Someone down here in NZ created a web service called "Neighbourly". It provides posting of requests for help, watchdog alerts and giveaways. I get a daily summary of activity for my neighbourhood only. If I want to join in the discussion, I can at my leisure. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find similar services elsewhere.
The difficult may take time, the impossible a little longer.

Hello all, Is there any free and easy to use software under the sun that would allow a group of people (let's say non techy neighbors) to share data, complaints, problems, ask for meetings, calendar, to send messages between them... I've even though on creating a facebook group but this is a little bit... well... :rolleyes: PS: I've not searched for anything but I've abandoned before trying I even don't know what to search...

I've not yet tried it myself, but what you describe sounds very much like what Trello[^] has been designed to do. It's web-based and appears to have very few limitations regarding what you can share (and organize) with it. Add some code-sharing platform like Github and you're good to go.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Git Hub can cover the first 3 -- share data, complaints and problems. Google Calendar can cover making meetings. WhatsApp Web --> which is the desktop version of WhatsApp. (if you don't like going the celphone route)

Hi Joan, I've tried to dig up some info you can persuse without actually having to sign up. I've found this screenshot[^] to be pretty impressive. it's taken from this article[^]. Have fun!

Way too lazy. They should use telnet and ftp.

Our neighborhood uses Nextdoor. It is advertised as a private social network for your neighborhood. I didn't set it up, nor do I know all of it's ins and outs, but it seems like a good tool to communicate with your neighbors. You can check it out at http://nextdoor.com/[^]

If your group is organized geographically, such as a local neighborhood, you may want to check out NextDoor. I'm not sure if it can do everything you're looking for, but it definitely covers some of your needs.
