I got the idea, of installing a fully user-supported web-bulletin board on 
mplayerhq.hu. Newbies seem to like boards more than mailing-lists and also 
users seem to be quite responsive even to newvie questions on that board.

After all I think the point is that they don't get a large bunch of mails 
every day, but can choose whean they want to give some advice or discuss with 
other users.

IMHO this is really worth a try and we can still bash if it doesn't work.
Anyone knows a good and free bboard system?
It should of course include a good search function and posting for both 
anonymous and subscribed users.
It may use perl/cgi and mysql if needed, maybe arpi can even be brought to 
reinstall php on mphq if needed ;)
