More forums

It would be good to have more drupal forums to chat about drupal in general. I wanted to post this somewhere:

I'd like a place that I can talk in broader terms about what would be nice to have. Perhaps where Web2.0 is going and whether Drupal will survive that--- once some of the big players catch up. Integration with the blogshere etc...

I'm also interested in the concepts of community. The sociology and the psychology associated with this sort of thing. Which might not belong here. But it might be nice to see people's broad interests on their profiles. This can be handy for drupal projects too, for example converting lots of static html might be faster if you knew a perl programmer...

Ideas

We need to decide on uses for the forums on this site - any suggestions?

My ideas so far:

  • Suggest a feature
    Talk about improvements to this site
  • Events
    Discuss event planning. Once an event is announced it will have it's own page to hold a discussion on, but in the initial stages we can talk about an event on the forum.
  • General chat
    Being Brits we need somewhere to talk about the weather and other off-topic, non-Drupal stuff ;-)
  • Drupal (Online/Offline)
    Not exactly the right title, have to think of something better..... Forum area to start topics to be discussed at meetings, and then carry on the conversation after the meeting.

The last one is tricky as we want to avoid overlapping with the main Drupal site, drupal.org. So all questions should be asked there first, but I think it's fair enough to have conversations here if they are part of what we discuss at meetings.
