Extremely valid concern. However, this is a growing community. Forcing one method of interaction/learning on all is a detriment to growth. That's the "do it my way or no way" approach.

Most projects, as they grow, do have forums. It is a form of communication preferred by many people. This is a fact, and as nginx is continues to grow in popularity it is bound to happen.

Working on an integration with the mailing list is something that I am willing to contribute to financially, but my php is not strong enough to do it myself.

Any takers?

There is a lot more that can be done about integration of mailing list, forum, and wiki if they are all local to each other (I am considering mailing list local by where it is interacted with). As such, if we are going to risk splintering things with a forum (because it is a very valid concern). I think the idea to replicate across them is a good idea and will be the only way to help keep everything together and organized. Of course, the benefit to having them not on the same server is that if the forum or the wiki is down, the other will be up, but this is what local mailing list emails solve :).

whoa whoa, why don't we host this stuff on the same server/location.

cliff, do you want to give jim an account and point /forum over to him?

this way, if the wiki goes down, the forum isn't up and vice versa. that always looks so amateur.
