Re: Website CMS questions > User Forums

We have a CM Pro member that agreed to lead the forum effort. I'll follow-up
with him on topics, scope and logistics.

Subject: Re: [CMS] Website CMS questions > User Forums

Hi Ed and Darrel,

A few years ago we set up CMS Forum to support any number of specific 
vendor forums (http://www.cms-forum.org).

It has generated little substantive discussion so far.

For the first year I edited many interesting email threads on the CMS 
list to prime the pump. These were all lost when an earlier version of 
Drupal was hacked and we could not recover the database for an 
affordable sum.

But for the past two years I have devoted most of my energy to launching 
and growing CM Pros with their members-only mailing list and topical and 
regional communities (chapters). 950 members have joined as of this date.

Starting in January, I plan to put more efforts into CMS Review and CMS 
Forum. I think all we might need to get user forums started is one or 
two conversation leaders familiar with a particular product.

I will put out a call for volunteers.

Cheers,

Bob.
