OK <snip> > The next steps to me are: Sure, it's a good time to look at the packages. I see folks are updating the wiki page https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/UsersForum excellent. IMO it worth starting even a bit before that however, asking ourselves some questions first. So one question for this email. Do we really want to setup a top level domain with stand alone UI or reference the libreoffice.org base domain with the forum UI embedded into the current CMS. Top Level - forum.libreoffice.org is then either the en forum or forums home page -- and then forum.libreoffice.org/en is the en forum. - forum.libreoffice.org/fr etc, or Embedded - www.libreoffice.org/forum = en - fr.libreoffice.org/form etc, Technically speaking it is not really a crucial decision for today, but might possibly have some bearing on the forum package(s) selected. It would definitely have an influence on customizing the forum theme. I'm strongly in favor of the embedded approach - the main site CMS is then our portal and anyone using the forum is exposed to our full set of services via the CMS menu system.
