[Mageia-discuss] Mageia Forums

Hi everyone,
+
+just to spec. a little things.
+
+It's amazing to see all this help coming in. :-) As it's starting to
+bubble a bit, I would like we share the discussion about forums and
+hosting them, for the setup.
+
+We see two options at this time:
+ 1. hosting forums at forum.mageia.org (or st like that) and
+delegating management, animation;
+ 2. delegating forums per locale/country/whatever and having
+forum.mageia.org redirect to each.
+
+For the record, a mix of these two approaches happened at Mandriva;
+English and French main ones were hosted by the company and there were
+others delegated for each languages; that didn't prevent
+mandrivausers.org to exist, by the way. And, anyway, situation is a
+bit different here.
+
+Anyway, we will shortly (by this evening) open a temporary wiki space
+to start, for people to register where they want/can help, so we can
+focus groups. I suggest you all list your hosting along the locale,
+with your expected capacity to moderate/animate and we will then
+discuss how we do it.
+
+Note that, if we need to decide to have one official forum per locale
+because it's difficult to come to a mutual agreement, we will do it,
+of course. :-p
+
+Cheers,
+
+Romain
