Web Forum Structure Development -Searching for a Documentation Template

[vesnianka]

Hi! I was asked by a client to develop a web forum, in structure and content. My question is, how do I document the structure of a forum, for my client? Is it done as a site map? a mock-up? a diagram? Does anyone have a template that I can use, to customize how I would like the structure of the forum to look? Any ideas, pointers or professional recommendations ? I am looking for formalize this process.

Thanks so much!

There are several 'free' BBS (bulletin board systems) online that should have documentation like this out there. I'd recommend looking at the project home pages for BBS systems listed on either sourceforge.net or freshmeat.net
