I like the idea of a forum, certainly more then more slack channels, forums for example are not only public and searchable but indexed by google so answers start showing up in google as well. To get the most out of it though it would be nice if we had a irc / slack bot that posted every new forum topic to IRC then people who help there would probably also see and answer the questions on the forum. The reality is many users don't understand irc or mailing lists, there simply not old enough but they do understand forums, bodhi for example has a reasonably active forum. If such a forum existed, i'd be happy to help monitor and moderate it and forward appropriate questions to the bugtracker / mailing list / irc as needed so they reach the right people where needed. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
