Currently there are several tools used for information and user
interaction:

1 - hobocentral.net -> tutorials
2 - this group -> relevant discussion
3 - the dev groups -> people don't post often, but I've seen the same
topic being discussed in both forums
4 - cookbook -> recipes, questions and manuals
5 - lighthouse -> afaik bug reports are stored in there

In my humble opinion, the hobocentral could be used as an
institutional page. Presentation of Hobo's objectives, vision, new
releases, etc.

I love the cookbook and I think it is an excellent way to demonstrate
the technology (thumbs up to the "show source" link").

- It may bring some overhead at first, but I wouldn't mind to see a
forum in there able to replace this google group. Probably as an
evolution of the questions feature?
- The tutorials could also be moved to the cookbook.
- The dev group can be easily replaced by lighthouse.

Another two cents. Today I have British ones, as I'm staying tonight
in Edinburgh - lovely town.
