Just as Frauerpower hosts a community wiki, so too if people get impatient, people could host community forums and we could link to them :-) Best Wishes, Chris Travers On 3/9/07, William Hamilton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Gerald Chudyk wrote: > > On 3/9/07, Chris Travers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Hi, > >> > >> There has been talk of adding forums to our community CMS. > >> Unfortunately, this is taking time to set up, since most of us are > >> putting more emphasis on code and less on infrastructure. > > > > And that is the best use of your time.
