There are no such plans at the moment. Personally, I find mailing lists
to be far superior as I don't have to log into some web page to get
updated on what's going on. I just get the info directly in my mail box.

It works quite well for me. My impression is that people just don't use
it.

In general, it seems like people have many great ideas on how to improve
Octave and Octave-Forge, but few seems to be willing to actually
contribute. At the moment, we are quite short on human resources. It
seems that none of the regular contributors have had the time or will to
investigate how a change to a forum would impact our "ecosystem".
Unless, somebody performs a _serious_ investigation of this impact, I
will not consider a change to a forum an option.
