<french> jdd, "elect" signifie "élire" (comme dans "élection") </french>

No. Unofficial forums will still exist, but at least we'll have *one* where we can send people to.

No.

Obviously not.

No, with "electing" an existing forum to become the "official" one I mean e.g. saying that
http://www.suseforums.net/ is *the* official openSUSE web forum (and probably add a DNS alias
forum.opensuse.org -> www.suseforums.net, or something like that).

Note that personally, I tend more and more to the option of setting up a new forum because just
pointing to an existing one has many, many problems (most already cited by Houghi): legal,
technical, control, quality of service.

Maybe ask the existing forums if they want to drop their current ones and instead become moderators
on forum.opensuse.org ? Do per-language forums and e.g. ask the suseitalia.org folks to moderate
it.forum.opensuse.org, the linuxclub.de admins to moderate de.forum.opensuse.org, etc... ?

cheers
