Many projects, including large ones such as Gentoo, provide web forums for their users. The benefits are:
* Users can help each other
* Sometimes developers may read it and: * Be able to help users too * Learn what difficulties people are facing
* Many people seem to prefer the web interface to mailing lists/newsgroups
It has been brought up before and people weren't really keen, but I thought I'd bring it up again as we get a lot of value out of the forums in the autopackage project, and I can't seem to find the old 3rd party Wine forums there used to be anymore.
So I'd like to propose:
Running phpBB or some similar type web forum software, with official links and so on from WineHQ. Newman, what do you think, do we have server capacity to do this? Do you have time to set it up?
Others, does anybody have any _serious_ objections (by which I mean other than "I don't like web interfaces" ;)
