Hi I am kind of new to mailing lists so forgive me if I am steping on

I am used to working with forums more than mailing lists and find them to be
a little easier for newcomers to work with than mailing lists. Is there a
plan for a forum? I think that it may not be as important to have a forum
now as it will say when the phone is released and there will be a lot more
people trying to find more organized data. I have given this just a little
thought and some input from more experianced people would be welcome. Here
is the layout that I have though could work.

FWIW, I don't find forums any more useable than mailling lists. On
the other hand, wikis seem to end up with lots of the sort of thing
you're asking for, and are somewhat "self-organizing." There is a
wiki for openmoko, at
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Main_Page
which seems to have a lot of what you're looking for (a lot of the
discussion on the various mailling lists seems to end up getting
distilled into wiki articles).
It's interesting to note that most youngsters seem to prefer forums, and most
of us old-timers (IIRC you're my age, Joe) prefer mailing lists. I wonder why
that is?
