If you're unfamiliar with bulletin boards, Lannouncement is an online bulletin board that allows members of an organization to post bulletins, distribute documents or files, and participate in online discussions. It is a "groupware" product where users may select, view, save attachments, and print messages posted on the board. You may also initiate your thread, and users can engage in public dialog with others about a message.
Lannouncement is divided into two types of messages, Topics and Dialogs. Topics are documents that could only be read, making them ideal for posting new user information, an organization's phone numbers and structure, distributing a corporate Handbook, or advertising items for sale. On the other hand, Dialogs are public forums where a group of users can exchange ideas. Though anyone can join, users with create access to the subject initiate them. If you're seeking a bulletin board that is comprehensive, up-to-date, and user-friendly, Lannouncement is worth considering.
