Nice one. Lets consider I have an idea or I found a bug in the forum or an enhancement should I report it as a bug in openhatch site or I can comment in forum ?
Are you looking for specific categories of conversations? Honestly, I think it will take on a life of it's own over time, but here are a couple of ideas. They may be overkill, but something to think about regardless.
Personally, having a category as a place where people can ask general questions about getting involved in opensource and spreading the word seems like a good idea. It would help build a community around those involved in open source activism.
Having a newbie section (named something besides newbies) where people can ask questions if they are confused on exactly what to do to start getting involved. Many people find a forum less imposing than IRC when getting started.
Maybe a category for site feedback and suggestions?
I would say if you find a bug in the forum, you should report it by filing a bug. But if you're not sure if it's a bug, feel free to make it a forum thread first.
Mark, I think those would make three good categories. I've just made three new categories in the hopes of suggesting people talk about those things. If you want to change or edit them, you have that permission; feel free to do just do so!
OpenHatch is a community of people aiming to help newcomers find their way into free software projects. If you like talking about that, please join the conversation!
