There is already a user web forum at
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.koha

That sounds like a way to "divide and conk out" - splitting our
resources too thinly to be able to help some people and eating up more
time into overheads like managing the forum.

If it happens, though, I hope we can use something with a better
interface than linuxforums.org's vBulletin.  I hate vBulletin and its
terrible user interface, and we should use free software instead
anyway.

Could that be done better with a more easily editable wiki or a web
board targetted specifically at developing tutorials?
