For FlightGear developers.
I think a good idea keep development discussions into mailing lists, because
this way is driven to developers only.
Maybe with a forum, questions with no relevance, help developers give no
focus to important development questions.
For end users
For end users, forum seems to be great and the easiest method to help find
information about flightgear.
For developer in general (using latest flightgear stable release to
interface it with own projects)
Forum is a good start and quoting myself experience. During all this year I
was working on a project using flightgear, but I did want only support to
questions not related to flightgear internal development and I did search
for a official forum, just to find simple questions about flightgear
interoperability. This could be easy to find on forum with a topic
"Flightgear interoperability".

I know our development culture is built around mailing lists. I'm sure
the FlightGear community will be decisively split between forums versus
mailing lists if I ask people's preferences ... so I'm not expecting a
consensus here. Is this anything that is worth exploring? Is it worth
having both options available? Would end user support benefit from forums?
Would forums be useful for those that have trouble with sourceforge's spam
blockers? A backup communication mechanism for when the sourceforge email
lists experience their inevitable down time?
Thoughts?
