Can anyone setup this forum we’re using now software using any accounts etc? Which packages are used and is there a github so we can do the same on our own sites?
I assumed it would be a Meteor App…
The documentation is a Meteor app though! Sometimes it’s easier to not reinvent the wheel 
Forums could be considered reinventing the wheel, but it would also be to
show off a solid example of the software being hosted, pitched, etc.
That’s very true, and I agree. It’s also a non-trivial effort. However I imagine one day we might see forums built in Meteor here.
If you’re looking for a more traditional BBS style forum, you can check out GroupThink or Clinical Support Forum. They were both written circa Meteor 0.8, and neither have test coverage quite yet.

I’m making a lot of progress with the Clinical Meteor Track right now, componentizing the demos and getting things under QA. Within the next couple of months, there should be a rewrite of both apps, and I’m going to be dogfooding Meteor and using it as the forum for the clinical/healthcare/biomedical track I’ve been working on.
