While we're looking for optimized forum/Q&A experience for sub-communities, this reminds me similar question: Krita (or Kexi, for the record) forum(s) dive in the large KDE forums family. It's easy to get lost. Do you think the above note, usability-wise, also applies to forum.kde.org? Would own forum instances, still managed by KDE admins, be better? More controversial note is also: it's not necessarily natural for majority of their non-contributing users (Krita, Kexi) being outside of the KDE Plasma orbit, to visit and contribute to "KDE [community] forums". In best case they may see themselves rather as a part of a standalone application's community. Just like Angry Birds fans do not call themselves iOS/Android community.
