[Chandler-dev] Chandler The Open Notebook? - New Landing Page and Product Tour

[Andre Mueninghoff]

Although there certainly is a bit of configuration and admin overhead, 
I've thought for awhile that a forum would be helpful for new (and 
long-time) users. Sure, one can search the list archives today, but it 
can be hit or miss, particularly for new users uncertain about what 
keywords would be best. A forum tends to self-organize by topic. A forum 
can also provide a more accessible arena for gathering feedback, both 
laurels and darts. A new landing page suggest, anyway, an opportunity to 
add a forum. It could replace the user list eventually to the extent 
that the forum tool would be able to permit registrants to subscribe to 
alerts and digests from forum topics. All quite typical tool sets found 
every more often around the net.
