Why not "federate" forums... synchronize user bases, threads and start from there. If you post in one, it's replicated everywhere. That will bring everyone in...
No chance! This would just cause a synchronization nightmare and a lot of frustration.
Regardless as with any community that has formed a large, growing base opensuse.org needs to have an official forum. I however would argue it should be community controlled. Maybe the forum admins/owners of the other sites could take over forums.opensuse.org??
For now we decided to wait for the improved Novell Forums - which is not to say it will be impossible to have the community control it (in terms of advanced access / moderation rights for specific forums). Regards Christoph
