[SailfishDevel] was "Acceptable Behaviour.." --> Forum

[Andrea Bernabei]

I'm all for forums, personally.

I don't like mailing lists particularly. And the only facts that it takes a
decent email client to handle them well is a pretty important requirement,
imho...

I vote for a forum (I voted in the past as well, but it seems it didn't
help :D )
