There doesn't seem to be any support for view boards that get their content from other boards and cannot be posted to as opposed to regular posting boards, so you'll have to start with that. Add a setting to localsettings.txt to mark view boards, and check for it in post.php when posting and in every place a post form is included to omit it from view boards. With the current state of skins you might want to add separate templates for view boards. Also display the setting in the board management sections in admin.php and set it to regular-board in the board creation section. Have a single dummy view board with static content holding a single thread with a single post. Since all this is already a non-trivial undertaking but only a small fraction of the overall work required, have this much working first.
