I personaly myself am not that much interested in a forum. A lot of people
rather use a forem, so I think we should really look into it.
Perhaps it would be wise to know what the advatages and disadvatages are
of both having and not having a official forum.
Also it would be nice to know what the maintainers of the larger Linux
forums are thinking about this, so ask them. :-) It could be that the
reason of existence is that they were made because there was no official
one. Then they might be willing to move what they have over to you or help
with building and maintaining the forum.
As you do not want to take resources away, how are you going to moderate?
Will you let others do this?
For me personally the ideal solution would be an integrated system of
usenet, email and forum. Let me explain. There is software available that
can convert usenet and email. There also is software that handles usenet
as a forum (e.g groups.google)
Subscribtion will be needed for posting, reading will be possible without
subscribing, just as this would be done with the mailinglist and a forum.
People will then have the choice to pick their favorite choice. There also
is a HUGE disadvatage: quoting. In Email and on Usenet messages are
generaly included. On Forums this often is not the case. (A reason why I
dislike forums)
