If we want to give chances to a user community, I'm not so sure we need a "foundation". We need more user oriented tools:
- a bulletin board forum instead of a mailing-list. I ask you to be honnest : mailing-list are fine for developers, not for users.
That is the reverse of my experience and others, such as: [... e-democracy.org extract ...]
and you don't get a much broader audience of non-developers than "everybody"!
We have different experiences, that's all :-) No problem for me if we have no bulletin-board, I think it's too bad for users but for developers it's useless. I don't want the discussion to go any further, but I give what I consider the advantages of an online bulletin board instead of a mailing-list: - centralized - easier to search - you can be notified only on subjects you're subscribed to - more user friendly - easier to link a wiki page to a forum topic/post than to a mail of the mailing list I personnaly like using mailing-lists because I have a deeper control on my user interface, but I can be considered as an advanced user.
