I've not got any experience yet of using SCT. However I've been 
looking at forum apps for use with in Django and settled on SCT 
to experiment with. I had a query about the features of SCT, I 
got a very quick and positive reply from the author. The feature 
I was after isn't built in to SCT but he had a number of positive 
suggestions for getting it working. So the support from SCT was 
very encouraging for me and hence why I'm trying it out. 

For info the feature required was for developing a forum area for 
a specialist group I'm involved in. They currently just have a 
mailing list for the group. Half the people are clamouring for a 
web forum and the other half want the convenience of posting and 
receiving posts via email. I asked if SCT could receive posts and 
send out a daily digest via email. The answer appears to be not 
yet but no reason why it couldn't. Probably going to be an itch I 
have to scratch myself.
