The way I see it, the initial setup would need ~ 1 man week (this includes
adding support for iChains to $forum_software => this would enable
existing openSUSE.org wiki / bugzilla accounts. + configuration of
AppArmor => enhances security). It's really difficult to account for the
maintenance -- my guess would be that this is somewhere around 2-3 man
days per month, depending on security vulnerabilities, etc.
Realistically the creation of a forum would need to be postponed to March.

AFAIK this is still to be defined. If we are fine with waiting until early
March, I can offer to take the required time to drive the initial setup
out of my schedule then. (But ATM I'm like 99% busy with university ;))

I'd say yes -- e.g. we need to discuss what kind of sub forums we need to
create, etc. Setting up a mailing list shouldn't take too long ;) Henne?

This needs to be communicated properly to the according Novell team.
