Andy and Kristian,

I think this is a good idea, which has previously been discussed at this
list. At that time I believe the main hesitation was connected to have
someone volunteer to administrate such a project.

I think it is good to have a fenics-forum for application oriented
developers that can interact with the developers of the basic tools.

All the best,
Johan
