Gnome users need a Forum! The Gnotices site has posted a request by Mark Finlay for the creation a Gnome users' forum. "One thing that Iž²ve always found to be lacking in the Gnome community is a bulletin board. People will say that Gnome has mailing lists, Gnome has IRC etcž¥ But these are very much development communication channels ž¶ and with the release of GNOME2 wež²re all hoping to see a lot more non-technical users using Gnome in the not too distant future, aren't we? ;)"
