The Linux Kernel ? Apache HTTPD ?

In the end, it all depends on what you're after. If you want a place for random people to randomly discuss OpenStack, then a forum system is definitely the good answer. If you want an area where to ask questions and find answers, then a stackexchange-type site is what you need. Using one to do the other is a recipe for pain. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) Release Manager, OpenStack _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
