ASPN cookbook?

And I don't think that a phpBB (or commercial rip-off) forum can be good at
that - the search-function of these things sucks big time, and
classification through tagging or hierarchical organization is also not
possible.

This idea has been discussed before, and unfortunately not bore any fruits
so far - one of the few places PHP is actually better than Python. So I'd
love to see it happen.

However I totally fail to see how the pyfora are any step into that
direction.
