"7. Most everything else can be designed by taking dumb and going 5
steps below that for a public launch. "
IRC and mailing lists will not cut it for the target market public
launch. The only reason I care about the general public is that their
acceptance is the only way more neo's will be made.
The social jab was unnecessary and uncalled for.

I understand that some people love IRC and mailing lists. But users
expect
to search and ask questions in a forum, not on a mailing list and
IRC. I
think it's about time for some forums.

Those were never specified as requirements at all. What they asked
for was somewhere they could ask questions without "spamming the
list" - irc is perfect for those little questions.
IRC is great for technical people to ask quick little questions
without "spamming the list". However, IRC is not an option for those
less-technical. Basically, if they can't get the information they are
looking for using their browser and ONLY their browser, then they will
NOT find what they are looking for...
IRC and mailing lists have their uses, but so do forums. I honestly
don't understand the resistance to the idea of a forum. Other than
people being so closed minded and elitist that they can't understand
how people are soo stupid not to have know the answer to the question
already.
So if anything, hopefully those people (who are the people who give
FOSS a bad rep) will stick to IRC and mailing lists, and people that
can actually perform social interaction can help people out in the
forums.
