I hesitate to comment on this as it's one of those topics were there's not 
"one obvious way to do it" (obviously I'm not Dutch). Essentially, I think 
google groups does an okay job and the benefits of any change are likely to 
be outweighed by the heavy cost of that change.

Having said that, I've always thought that we're missing a trick by not 
integrating forum questions with the web2py book. Imagine having 
medium.com-style side comments with the book, making it more of a living 
document. Questions and answers would be right next to the relevant section 
of the book, providing further explanation and reducing RTFM answers. I 
guess you'd also add a better search facility, a stack-overflow style 
'homepage' and possibly a slight re-structure of the book sections. Ask a 
question and it gets tagged to a book section.  The book is already built 
with auth.wiki() - so we would be adding to functionality/infrastructure 
that has to be maintained anyway.

We can always dream ;-)
