Hi Jon,
I'm not saying fedoraforum.org is not capable of or not serving to the fedora project. It's a good addition for the project.
But don't you feel like we are a community with out a an official forum ?

with my understandings a Forum is the best communication platform for an Open source project.

As you mentioned we may need more hardware resources for the forum. I'm totally agree with this.

But I do not agree with the "Volunteers" that we require for run a forum. Fedora Project is a not a community without experts or volunteers.

Think about the number of people who starts using fedora, from the installation process itself they need some help most of the times. while they google for solutions if they can't find out a forum from the official fedora project, to ask their questions, it seems like a problem for me. anyway its my personal opinion. let's wait for others too.

Thanks

What advantage does that give us that the current fedoraforum.org does
not? In order to run our own forum, we'd need more servers to do that,
moderation volunteers, and many other things that already exist over
at fedoraforum.org

In other words, I see no upside, and some potential downside to it.
