Actually, forums are the standard also. There is a lot of projects who have forums for general discussion. Personally I don't like this at all, registration and posting almost always are very complex and annoying; this another reason why I like mailing lists more. But this isn't as bad as it seems, because it is possible to create better forums, without such drawbacks (and I can try to do this in case of positive decision). Server isn't a problem, I can give my server for this purpose. And of course mailing list will stay as is (so users will be able to choose between official mailing list and official forum). Question is, will be a (official) forum a useful *addition* (for our users) to what we have now or not?...
We already have a forum, the appdb.
I think it just needs some work to make what we have, better so that it actually looks like a forum, as I elaborated on in this post here

It's just a matter of some modification to create a better user interface, there's no need to create a new forum, just change how we can view and interact with the existing data.
