+<PRE>Hello,
+
+After yesterday meeting in #mageia-forums, and discussions on forums
+mailing list, it seems forums team do not like the way the forums are
+currently setup, and there seems to be no cooperation possible between
+sysadmin and forums admins, with most of the time spent with endless
+fights to tell who is responsible for the problem rather than trying to
+fix the problem.
+
+I am tired of spending time on this kind of thing, so in order to stop
+this, unless someone else from sysadmin team wants to work on forums,
+I suggest sysadmin team do not manage forums setup anymore.
+
+In order to do this :
+ - we remove ldap authentication from the forums. Users will have to
+ use a separate account and password for the forums. That's already
+ what they have to do if they want to use forums in other languages
+ than english and german. And after looking at database dumps from phpbb,
+ it seems it contains hash of user passwords although we are using ldap
+ for authentication, so using ldap authentication with phpbb is maybe
+ not a good idea for security anyway.
+ - they use their own server, or we provide them a VM on sucuk while
+ they don't have one
+ - they install the forums however they want, and manage them however
+ they want
+ - they use a separate domain name like mageia-forums.org or something
+ else. We can add a redirect from <A HREF="http://forums.mageia.org/{en,de">http://forums.mageia.org/{en,de</A>}/ to
+ the new URL until all references to the old URLs are removed. On
+ <A HREF="http://forums.mageia.org/">http://forums.mageia.org/</A> homepage we put a listing of all Mageia
+ community forums
+ - we provide them a dump of the current forums, after cleaning user
+ passwords, and they do the install and import of the database on
+ a new forum themself
+ - we are not responsible for anything on the new forums
+
+What do you think about this ?
+
+</PRE>
