I would like to weigh in on the forum discussion.  I like the idea of having 
a forum for us (users of the project) to use.  I have found that creating a 
community around a website or software package helps to promote it's 
adoption and foster a sense of belonging.  This will provide obvious 
benefits.

Just my two cents.

Jim
