Absolutely; I'm sure it's been said in the past that it would be generally 
a good thing for someone to set up forums to be used in addition to the 
mailing lists.

I'm probably amongst those that won't participate much in the forums 
because I find them frustratingly slow to navigate, but I don't see any 
reason why we shouldn't *have* forums at all.  We just need someone to set 
it up and do the admin.  Volunteers?
