It's not so much a question of quality but of resources. You have to keep two things in mind (which came already up, e.g. when we discussed the StackOverflow engagement):
1. The core team needs to limit time spent with support.2. The whole community suffers if information (help, suggestions, proposals, hints, ...) is spread across too many channels and media. Things are even harder to find, and focus is lost.
Both items strongly suggest to keep the number of channels and media for interaction to a minimum, and a single one would actually be best. So I don't believe opening yet another stream of information and interaction would help, unless we close down existing channels.
A forum might be the key of a growing community through contributions!!!! So, 1u1, support the idea actively and let someone of the community do the job! It solves your issues but it helps qooxdoo indirectly and the community even more... Why not let Kristou make a try? Why so resistant? Apparently, it works for Sencha. Why always need to learn from them first?
It's not a novel thing. People suggested forums, wikis, IRC channels, QA sites, and you name it, because they have all these preferences. And they are doing it, e.g. people running a ##qooxdoo IRC channel on freenode. But we cannot actively support it.
So there is nobody to stop Kristou to do whatever he pleases. And there is nobody to stop other people jumping wagon. The question for the core team is more whether (a) we can support it, and (b) whether we should endorse it. And there we are rather considerate.
