One of the goals of moving InternetTabletTalk to talk.maemo.org was to avoid community and documentation fragmentation. I think making another forum site would only start to reverse this goal.

Having said that, it's not necessarily a bad idea. One of the goals of talk.maemo.org is to be friendly to "all users." Maybe we need another forum which "rejects" new users, holding discussion only for those who have enough knowledge to actually participate in the conversation. This could be a quicker place to bounce around ideas, and work on code without being "held down" answering questions that have already been asked 20 times before.

In addition, I'd be willing to admin/help admin/mod/whatever if you need the help.

Fan sites like this aren't necessarily a bad thing. I think Aisu's thoughts (posted on your forum) echo mine:
A hacker forum would be amazing. Real, unfettered, and simple communication between real developers with no bureaucrats or demagogues in the way. Awesome.
