I will just state again, that people who talk about gateways etc
between mailing lists and the web forum, haven't got full
comprehension of what a successful web forum is about.

Yes.

There is no reason that an openSUSE web forum will not rival any of
the above in terms of usage.

Rivality is not the point; success ("helpfulness") is it.
You can't measure it in numbers, only in "forum atmosphere".

And does anybody who thinks that the mailing lists on these other
distros are non-functioning because they have successful web forums?
Of course not.

Try reading www.linux-club.de for 3 days; you will see solid FAQs instantly, and strong moderator action if something starts running against the line.
My feeling is: there are the best "educators" homed for forum users.
Knowledge is giving advises. That's what a forum should be, and linux-club.de is. But the language is german (only). A gain from the sight of the forum users ("easy", just the way they want to go).
So best would be we had one official forum per language.

Cheers -e
