Jacques,
I agree that forums take some administration but it certainly is less than administration of Wiki. If we give forum admin rights to more people (committers + regulars on the mailing list), forum administration would not be a problem. The most difficult part would be to set it up.
Regards,
Vinay

Forum+Knowledge base instead of mailing list
Hi Vinay,
You certainly guess that this has alreday been asked in the past. If you search in MLs you will find answers. But yes, it was a lot easier when MLs had an internal search option (and even a plugin to search from firefox-google field).
The other way is to use Google option "site:lists.ofbiz.org" but you have to crawl between every ML and svn ml is prominent...
In think the reason is that it's a lot less time consuming to admin a ML than forums... Because forums to be good tools must be regularly administred.

Subject: [OFBiz] Users - Forum+Knowledge base instead of mailing list
Hello,
Is it worthwhile to switch to forum format (possibly with a knowledge base) since forums are generally better at organizing information? Many new OFBiz users may benefit for this format and, as a result, reduce questions whose answers can be found easily on the forum. Also, if OFBiz forum component is operational, it may be a good test for it.
Regards,
Vinay Agarwal
