Please don´t get me wrong! (which could happen, if you quote my statement without its rationale!) Of course anybody has the right to establish a forum for whatever she/he likes. But it is my personal conviction, that opening http://libreofficeforum.org/ as yet another forum, although there were already well-established forums, is no benefit for the project or community. There were discussions about this in October last year, as well as there have been discussions about this today. There´s quite a lot of community members, who basically say the same: There is no need for more and more forums in parallel. What would you say, if people came up with multiple LibreOffice websites in parallel? What would you say, if people came up with multiple LibreOffice mailing lists in parallel? You have every right to open a website or mailing list about LibreOffice besides the existing one. But does it make sense? Is it good for the project and the community, after all? The same is for forums.
