I've used this functionality and it's very powerful and user-friendly. In addition to the above 
uses, I also think it would be great for the marketing "street teams" concept I've been working on, 
to let ad-hoc promotional teams form and collaborate online.

However, I think Drew was specifically referring to user support forums in his initial post. 
Elsewhere on our mailing lists, we discussed setting up a subdomain for user forums, such as 
"forum.libreoffice.org". In my opinion, this would be the most user-friendly way to provide support 
forums in a way that lets end-users know they are the official forums (and which they can easily 
find).
