Alrighty, here are the revised plans for beta3: --- Changes / Fixes * Without a doubt everyone one wants the forums to match the mailing lists. I personally think that this defeats the whole purpose of a forum, but i'm here to do what the community thinks is best. The extra forums that are not connected with a mailing list will be removed. And some of the forums renamed - i'll leave that part up to you to decide amongst yourselves.
On a bit of a side-note, I'm increasingly wishing Stack Overflow had a mail interface. I take Greg's point that it's an increasingly key place for people (especially people not otherwise engaged in the community) to seek information and help. It's a pity that there doesn't seem to be a good way to connect the StackOverflow postgresql discussion in some way that makes it more visible on the main community resources.
I think Greg may have a point when questioning whether adding a forum interface is overly useful, given that Stack Overflow already exists and doesn't see all that much attention. OTOH, maybe forums will draw people who otherwise ask on S.O. to the community, providing a bit of a bridge. It's worth a try.
