call for volunteer moderators, new forum, next steps

Hi Friends,
        I posted messages in the forums last week, but I just realized I didn't 
post on the mailing lists.  Since the Rules and Guidelines are essentially 
finished, the next step is to select moderators for the new forum.

        If anyone is interested in helping to moderate, please contact me.  You 
can reply to this message on the list, or you're welcome to contact me 
privately, if you prefer.

        The Rules section of the Rules and Guidelines explains what the job of a 
moderator is.  I think it will eventually appear on a new Forum Team on the 
website's Teams page, but it's not there yet.  Meanwhile, it's here: 
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/content/blob/master/articles/Forum%20Rules%20and%20Guidelines/ForumRulesText.md

        Not the meeting coming up this weekend, but next month's (May) meeting 
of the Vectors team, we'll be discussing plans for an opening of the new forum. 
At the moment, I'm thinking a month or 2 after the next hackfest would be good 
for the opening.  The hackfest is end of May/beginning of June, so maybe 
July/August would be good for the forum opening?  That's just a very rough guess 
at this point, and we'll finalize that at the May meeting.

All best,
brynn
