Hey Jordan, I think a forum as a means of communication is great. However, I'm not sure I feel it's the right fit here. My main concern in this regard is that there would be a separation of important discussions. I would also be concerned about a feeling of false consensus on hot-button topics that see activity on one channel but not the other. Finally, we'd be introducing yet another fire hose for project communications, and frankly I personally wouldn't feel compelled to check both, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
