You're right. And I'm not going to insist,but I also think that maybe it could
centralize many of the discussions in the same place, at least the general ones,
leaving the mailing list for the more technical ones. I suppose that it will
help also because the user are able to find the answer to their question in a
single place, and so avoid to post something that already has an answer
somewhere. And due to the presence of some kinda expert user gives the
possibility to answer some general non technical question from the users itself
(as happened with my single field export request).
These are hypothetical strong points of the idea, obviously there are many REAL
weak points as the extra work to take track of any suggestion/bug report/and so
on that you reported already so from an egoistic point of view I'd like to have
a forum, but on the other side I understand quite well your doubts.

A very useful tool that I use for almost everything is the aggregation of rss
feeds, but unfortunately they're not available everywhere (In kde-apps there's
no such a feature, the same for lauchpad I suppose). Thank you for having
implemented that on your news and for the hosting of the mailing list on gmane
(that has a useful rss feed).
