Did the Finnish OOo-Project have a forum previously/does the Finnish
LibreOffice project plan on using the forum after all?
Finnish OOo project does not have an official forum. On a commercial forum
site OOo users sort of took over a subforum that was meant for "Other Office
applications" (probably that referred to Access and Visio, the invasion
started around 2004 or so, I don't remember exact details anymore) and at some
point the forum operator just renamed the subforum to "Openoffice" because all
of the discussion was about OOo.
We would of course like to have a dedicated forum for LibreOffice so that
people don't have to go to MS Office user forums to get help. It is almost
certain that our forum would not become massively popular. Current message
rate on the unofficial Finnish OOo forum seems to be around 30-40 messages per
month and I would expect that at least initially we would get much less than
that for the new forum. This was the reason why we preferred to have a
subforum within a larger forum (and thus phpBB). If the forum seems overall
too quiet, it will easily discourage people from using it at all. True, this
is more of a social argument than technical one. But as I wrote, it was not a
strong preference, you can ignore it if other teams have better arguments.
