Create a private personal forum

Hello everyone, :-)

Let me introduce myself, I am the father of a little boy in CM2, the parents of the students in my son's class have a WhatsApp group to discuss homework, school trips...

I was wondering if it would be possible to create a private forum to structure the exchanges a bit;

Since I have never created a forum until now, I wonder if there are any free solutions that are not too complicated, but nicer than Discord?

If you have any advice to give me, thank you in advance! :-)

Cheers

    Hello,

    The process starts by searching in a search engine like Google or Qwant for example, with the phrase "create personal forum on Linux" and see everything that comes up for a wide range of options...

    Then choose one to see what it is possible to do with it.

    This one for example: https://fr.unixlinux.online/mx/1001036997.html

    Then look at others to make the best choice based on the group's topics.

    Warning, it's not all that simple...

    You need a "Machine" that runs 24/7, accessible via the internet for all kinds of connections, different types of callers... the types of browsers, PC... Windows or Linux in version XYZ and the Browsers... Tablets... Smartphones or iPhones and others...

    A person in charge who fixes bugs and performs updates... a Moderator... a bit of a technician.

    That's a quick overview of the topic, for an awareness-raising..

      Hello,

      It's like trying to hit a fly with a hammer, and indeed quite complicated to implement; moreover, it doesn't make much sense because the same parents and students won't be in CM2 this year (which is over) or next year.

      I don't see why a potential WhatsApp or Mail group for those who wish to communicate isn't enough, and anyway, it requires caution (posting data that could be considered private by the school, unsolicited evaluations of teachers' work, photos or data regarding certain children without consent...), given the times we live in, even discussing a school trip might not be a good idea; the more discreet we are, the better off the children will be.

      The regulations prohibit written homework at home in all primary classes, which some may find isn't a good thing, but that's how it is.
