Forums (forums.openstack.org) have just been approved by the PPB. Delegation
on working with the community to get consensus on selecting a software for
them is to Chad Keck, Myself and Stephen Spector.
I should note that based on what I read it appears Forums AND Questions seem
to be the answer to the forums debate with a sticky on the forums pointing
to whatever the QA software is to funnel specific questions to a questions
facility but also to allow general discussion on the forums. Right now, I
personally am only focusing on the forums/discussion portion since that was
the only portion specifically voted on that I am aware of.
If you have a suggestion for forum software please provide it and I will get
demos of every one recommended up and we can put the software to a vote for
the official forums.
