Hello Jenna, Making a forum is not a big issue. What you raise is a valid concern thou: what you don't want is an empty forum. I think we need to work in stages so I will try to do some work in stages with Isak (that has more camping coding experience than I have under his belt) perhaps starting with screencasts and a small site in camping to host these. Better to do things first and then we see :)
If you like it this could go on a subdomain learn.camping.io or anywhere really.
