I have to agree with that. As someone who saw how the Ubuntu community evolved, and as back in 2004 it was a similar state in which the most of the community was developers, staying with mailing lists was easy and productive. Only later when the user community grew in magnitude then forums were set up, by the community. Still planning is done mostly through mailing lists. > > What I don't want to have is official community office discussions happening > in both places, so I would like to pick one place for the community > discussions.
