Anyone btw. knows how the Ubuntu instance at askubuntu.com fits in?
It is part of the Stack Exchange system. You can easily check it by
going to a Stack Exchange account that has subaccounts on multiple
sites including AU. The "subdomains" are listed at the top of left an
account. Furthermore, the Stack Exchange logo is even in the "banner"
on the top left of the cover page for AU.
I wonder if it is hosted by Canonical or just by SE Inc. and running
on its own domain...and if Ubuntu people got more power in the moderation
and stuff.
Well, surely, they are slightly more empowered on a separate site, but
in the end of the day, as Omar also wrote, the big boss is Stack
Exchange. I want KDE to be the big boss for a KDE project. I really do
not want to compromise that.

I don't see where this is so much better than what exists - to me it looks
like a forum without sub-forums, where (at least on the LO and Ubuntu sites)
not that many people vote and "answers" are basically posts. And
surprisingly considering the size of the Ubuntu community there aren't as
many answers as I would have expected.
I would think making the existing facilities better would be more cost/labor
efficient and imo and what would be a worthy goal in supporting the
community would be is to provide responses to all questions asked on the
Forum, if one looks at the number of unanswered questions that number should
not be considered acceptable.
Yeah, one example: search that actually works. On
https://forum.kde.org/kexi when I type TABLE I get results for Amarok,
KMail, Okular, even VDG. Maybe 3 for Kexi.
People search, do not browse, especially if they're confronted with a
large hierarchy.
Isn't that an idea for GSoC or whatever action?
You need to use the "search this forum ...." box which is at the bottom of the
page, I agree that the placement isn't optimal and that the search box would be more
useful if it was context aware:
- if on the forum home page search all forums
- if on a sub-forum parent home page (ex Kexi has multiple sub forums) search
all the parent's sub-forums
- if on a sub-forum page search that sub-forum (or maybe all related
sub-forums)
- if on a thread search that thread
