Hello Geuis,

The roundcube mailinglist is efficient at the moment for exchanging 
ideas, testing patches etc. Developers don't want to check a forum every 
5 minutes to see if a new reply has been posted, THAT is inefficient :)

Mailinglist are common for open-source projects to coordinate 
development etc.

There are various means to communicate with eachother. Once Bob/Thomas 
open the Trac setup we can use the Wiki as well which should work better 
than topics of a forum.

There is also a Roundcube IRC-channel at Freenode network, it's called 
#roundcube. Freenode hosts quite a lot of (official) developers 
IRC-channels like #debian, #phpbb, #drupal-support, wordpress, #svn, 
#trac etc.


I've setup forums for RoundCube at my website. I am *more* than willing 
to let these be permanent for the project.

*chop* Thank you for your help and I know you're not the only one who 
would like to help the RoundCube project. But I doubt if there is a need 
for a forum, given the other replies to your mail..

Regards,

Jasper
