I am totally cool with different forums for discussion Lift and Scala. That's all cool. I will continue to treat this forum as my primary place to help folks and I will encourage the Lift committers to support newbies on this forum and to have Lift related discussions (what features, how we add them, etc.) on this forum. Personally, I have not had a lot of issues with repeat questions. The more times people ask the same questions, the more it points out that either (1) we didn't do a particular feature correctly or (2) we need to add something to the Lift wiki or other documentation. I am personally not a fan of forum software... I find that mailing lists (via gmail) with a web-basic history to be ideal and thus Google groups was my choice. I'm open to other options for the primary Lift support forum. We've moved source repositories and wikis a few times. Moving this forum elsewhere is not off the table. In terms of the use of the term "Lift", I want to let you know that there will probably be some trademark assertions on the word "Lift" related to computer programs (I'm not sure the exact trademark category.) So, in the near future, I may ask you not to use the work "Lift" as a primary designator for the forum. I don't see a split as a bad thing. The Lift community numbers > 1,300 people and is the largest Scala-related community. We may not be optimal for providing support to all users of Lift and I welcome other ways to help people build great web sites with Lift. By all means, find ways to help people do better thing with Lift.
