How hard would it be to duplicate issues and create a forum for every project?

Issues are already a very basic form of forum, all one needs to do is rename the modules and the links and then it would be accomplished. Thanks.

I don't understand what you're asking. Do you want to have a forum for each project but instead of using the project issue tracking module to track issues you want to use form posts? If that's the case, I don't think it would be all that easy without writing some sort of glue module that handled the necessary interactions between the project and forum modules.

If you're asking whether you can use the project issue tracking module but *also* duplicate those issues in a per-project forum, again I think you'd have to write your own glue module.

In either case I don't see why you would want to do this. What functionality is the project or project issue tracking module lacking that you would get by tracking issues in forums?

BTW, issues are not really similar to a forum at all, as far as I can tell, except that they are both nodes.

I'm asking if it's possible to create a forum for every project, just for general non-support/feature/etc discussion.

The easist way I can think of doing this would be to just rename issues to forum, and then install the same module again. Otherwise it really has nothing to do with issues at all.

Or perhaps project can have some kind of implementation like og_forum, which creates actual forums. These are just thoughts.
