Re: Inkscape Forum

We can try to talk to the InkscapeForum in the most peaceful and diplomatic
way. If he/she does not collaborate with us we can start a new forum and
mention in our site that the other one is NOT OFFICIAL forum. It can be
used with no further problems but it is not endorsed by the project.

What do you think?
