Challenge Overview
We are going to integrate the TC forums (Contest forums/Project forums) into Cockpit for our TC clients/PMs/copilots as the forums are being used more and more. The main goal is to allow Cockpit users to manage all their forum activities in Cockpit. The Cockpit users should be able to filter the forums/replies by forum type (project/contest), specific projects, only replies to their posts, etc. For Cockpit projects, we'll need to create views that aggregate project and/or contest forum activity within the project. We will also need some convenient ways to indicate to the user if a forum requires an answer, return the # of threads/messages, get the latest post attributes (time, poster, etc.).
