The first question is: do we need/want an official openSUSE web forum? Why? What would you expect from it, compared to the existing SUSE community forums?
Dear Sonja. I believe many people perceive a need for a webforum, but unless such a forum is bi-directionally gated to e.g. this mailing-list, it will only cause a split in the community. The need for an alternative interface to already existing resources is purely a matter of convenience for those wanting/needing it.
- Do not change anything. We link to established web forums in the SUSE community from the "Communicate" page in the wiki. Everybody looking for a forum should find one to their taste. None of them is "the" official openSUSE forum.
Vote +1.
- Create a new forum running on an open source web forum software and name it the official one. This can be hosted either at Novell or elsewhere, accessible through forums.opensuse.org. (This would be a competing project as described above.)
