Ubuntu Forums Loco offering.

[TigerWolf -]

I prefer a forum over a mailing list. Call me new aged - but for me forums
are much more usefull and easier to use. It would be easy to host it on the
website we have. It would be easy to consolidate information on it and make
it easy for people to search previously asked questions. Lots of other
benifits i need not state here.
