I would suggest the Reddit page if you guys are looking for a forum

Reddit? I thought all the cool kids were using Slack now* :)
Seriously, I don't think it's possible to do more than just suggest to
people places where conversations might take place. As an OSM DWG
member I often have to try and figure out where a certain community does
most of its conversation, and they're pretty variable. Some use mailing
lists (some on openstreetmap.org, some elsewhere) some use forums (again
either forum.openstreetmap.org or elsewhere), some use Facebook, some
Google+ (!) and some I'm sure others.
"http://forum.osm.org"; and "http://help.osm.org"; do have one advantage
over the others in that they use existing OSM credentials. If Reddit
works for people, they'll use it. If anyone wants to add an OHM section
to the forum then perhaps ask at
http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewforum.php?id=8 ? Likewise I'm sure
OHM questions asked at the help site and suitably tagged would be answered.
I wouldn't expect a huge amount of traffic though, since OHM doesn't yet
get a huge number of edits (if I look at the "history" tab over England
it goes back 4 months).
Cheers,
Andy
