Hi,

Before anyone wastes anymore of their time arguing for/against a
forum... as Eric mentioned we agreed to open a forum on nebuladevice.org
a while back. Personally I don't see any real advantages to having a
forum in addition to a mailing list, but we got fed up arguing about it.
Some maintenance needs to be performed before we can open the forum, I
expect that to be done in the next week or two. If anyone wants to team
up with Eric to make a Nebula skin for the forum that'd be great.
