What do you think about a forum?

[Lionel Laratte]

I'll vote for a forum (I am a relative newbie) just because I like to
find things out on my own and, frankly, sometimes I'm embarrassed to put
myself out the with questions that have simple, if not obvious, answers.
But I like the mailing list anyway.

I second that for 100%.

Exactly, build up a forum and we can put up a link on www.xfce.org.
