Hi Christian,

Thanks for doing this. Much appreciated. Could you please revisit the 
link at the top of the wiki page? It seems to be broken.

I can help moderate (I lift my hand up for this). And will help 
coordinate where I can.

FWIW, I am adding in the topics suggested by Bjoern[1] here to save time:

- Marketing
- Documentation
- QA
- Development
- Localization
- Design/UX
- TDF Infra (including the forum itself)
- TDF Orga (that is BoD etc.)
- Windows, OSX, Linux (each)

I will look back on the archives and contact those who have/had 
volunteered to see if there is still interest in helping out.

Thanks for taking on the techie side of things of jForums. This will be 
a great help.
