Integration of Sam's forum with Drupal is probably pretty easy considering
the forum IS Drupal. It would be a matter of copying nodes. Simple. As for
the integration of a Drupal site and a Silverstripe site as you are
suggesting... Wouldn't it be easier just to launch the Drupal site when it
is ready, I don't see it taking until April.

If redirecting http://forum.libreoffice.org to
http://libreofficeforum.orgwould be easy from technical and legal POV,
it would be worth to be

IMO I am strongly opposed to fracturing the community into bits. It happened
with OOo, let's not let it happen here. We have a plan to integrate ALL
communication systems through thr Drupal site, so that the same discussion
is not occurring in two places with different outcomes. I don't have a
problem with other people setting up offsite systems as long as any and all
decisions happen on the official communication channels setup by TDF and not
in a small group isolated from the main community.
