Hi Valoris

My understanding is that AkUbuntu uses the StackOverflow Application (a bit
like WordPress), but maybe I misheard that. Anyways, it's similar and
already has a Kubuntu area.
In Ubuntu Discourse, there is a 'Flavors' Category, but not a 'Kubuntu'
Category. This would see that change, and we would see
UbuntuDiscourse/Kubuntu taking over the role of KubuntuForums.net if the
Council agrees

Thanks for your response Big {{{Hugs}}}

Best Wishes
Rick
