I've been in there over the last few days and it is usually quite empty,
new users don't immediately think of IRC ;)

I know that this is v. OT and if someone wants to redirect me to a more
appropriate list go ahead. I've started a discussion on gnomedesktop.org
about setting up a GNOME Users Forum(phpBB).

I just want to find out what the "big guns" of GNOME think about this
and if any of the people who are working in #gnome-help and on faq's,
user help etc.. would endorse a bb and/or get involved.

BB's are always a flop if they don't get a rapid influx of users - so I
would like to know if it would be possible for gnome.org to endorse/link
to a phpBB, maybe even add it to the section links and new user pages.

Later
