italian community

[Petr Janda]

The forums would serve for pure user-2-user communication. Its clear 
that to communicate with the devs, submit bugs, or other development 
related stuff one has to use the mailing list. To combine with mailing 
list, the forum could have a web interface to post to the mailing list. 
I dont think  you guys have to be bothered with questions such as. "how 
do i set service xxx to start during boot?" or "why doesnt my mouse work 
in Xorg?", the fact that there could  be multilingual communities is in 
my opinion a good idea because italians could speak italian, german to 
german in their native language without being bothered with translation.

What is being proposed is a discussion forum, something like 
bsdforums just much simpler and with search engine and only DragonFly 
specific, which would allow to have english, italian, german, 
spanish, etc, communities _without_ having to post to a mailing list, 
just by registering.
as said many times before:  we don't want diversity in communication 
media.  developers and other members of the community do not like web 
fora.  those two facts combined mean that there is no point in 
creating a forum:

1. no developers will use it, thus problems will not be solved
2. developers AND forum users will be upset, because they can not 
communicate with each other anymore

solution:
1. don't make a forum
2. create a forum which uses the mailing lists as backend
