[microformats-discuss] Forum formats (for blog post microformat)

[David Janes -- BlogMatrix]

Create a new section at the bottom, under "Syndication Feed Formats":

== Forum Software ==
=== Moodle ===
=== phpbb ===
=== YaBB ===

It should slot in at point 1.4. We can always move it later.

Regards, etc...
