Hi Andre,
Jared has also suggested making use of forums -- at the time we decided
to stick with mailing lists while that held up. Perhaps we should indeed
reconsider this idea for 1.0, for the reasons you mention.
Thanks for bringing it up.
Cheers,
Katie

Although there certainly is a bit of configuration and admin overhead,
I've thought for awhile that a forum would be helpful for new (and
long-time) users. Sure, one can search the list archives today, but it
can be hit or miss, particularly for new users uncertain about what
keywords would be best. A forum tends to self-organize by topic. A forum
can also provide a more accessible arena for gathering feedback, both
laurels and darts. A new landing page suggest, anyway, an opportunity to
add a forum. It could replace the user list eventually to the extent
that the forum tool would be able to permit registrants to subscribe to
alerts and digests from forum topics. All quite typical tool sets found
every more often around the net.
