I think this makes some sense, as the number of Koha users and experimenters is expanding. The questions of who to host and how to administer such a forum are important ones though. Ideally, there would already be something like: <br>
<a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.linuxforums.org%2Fforum%2Flinux-applications%2F">http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.linuxforums.org%2Fforum%2Flinux-applications%2F</a><br>
<br>where we could make a Koha subforum and others below it, but I don't know of any offhand. Any ideas here?<br><br>The nice thing about an email list is that it doesn't live and die by the host's realtime performance and network availability. I also think that the install walkthroughs are best kept and most easily updated in wiki format, even if we do spawn a discussion forum.<br>

I have been on the mailing list for a while and it has it good points<br>
but I was wondering if maybe if it is time to start a forum board<br>
instead. This way whe could break up information into units such as<br>
intalling, migration, updating, database, etc. We could further break<br>
down units like installing into Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat , 64 bit, etc.<br>
In each of these sections we could add the latest install walk throughs<br>
as a sticky at the top. As people ecounter problems they could be<br>
edited into the install guides. The boards could speed up advice and<br>
cut down on the amount of mail being sent out.<br>
