I believe it is being worked on. Or at least I hope so!
On the subject of forums, I personally am in favor of it. I do agree that
mailing lists (especially with no archiving capabilities) is an inefficient way
of supporting a growing community.
With that being said, it was discussed just last week and the majority of the
users (and developers) preferred a wiki/trac/arhive mix until the community
grows.
Thats what communities are about: getting consensus and working together as a
group. I can see where the originator of this thread is coming from, but
starting a thread and announcing we all should come over to his website is a
bit of an odd way to introduce yourself to the community isn't it?
At the end of the day, I think we will all recognise when it is the right time
to segue to a BB-based support model.
Christ, I'm starting to sound like a marketing dweeb. Forgive me.... ;)
