[Koha] Why No Discussion Forum?

[Bo Schafers]

Thanks for the responses and personal perspectives.

My thoughts were primarily in relation to making Koha more accessible to 
'library people' around the world. Online forums are the tool of choice 
for online communities, the fora of many famous projects have become 
information repositories of great value. People are hugely webcentric 
these days. In the short time I've been here, I've seen numerous single 
posts by people who asked one question and then simply vanished. -"Koha? 
Looked good but, too hard!" I would venture that over time these 
translate into much lost opportunitiy to build a stronger, more vibrant 
Koha community. Just some thought from a newbie...hopefully no offense 
taken.

I've been using the web format a lot, finding the threading a lot easier 
to follow AND I must apololgise: I did not see the *search* function at 
the bottom of the page. Thanks Owen! That solves my personal issue of 
making sure I do not burden the list with topics discussed previously.

Best Regards,
Bo
