Charles,
I think the idea of integrating an already established forum is a great idea.
Of course the initial discussions must happen with the project
leadership and the SC, but if and when there is a discussion about
implementing this idea it would be a good idea to allow the website
team to drive the implementation process.
The expertise within the team will allow us to closely integrate the
forum with the established infrastructure at the time.

Thanks,
Michael Wheatland
