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

[Luca Donaggio]

+1 for keeping this ML and (eventually) improving TJC.

Personally, TJC currently suffers of one big drawback, which is not even
technical: it is perceived more as a generic issue-reporting /
feature-requesting tool than anything else.
Developer related questions have always been reported on this ML first, and
later on TJC mainly when it resulted in a bug of some sort.

I'm not against forums, I just can't afford following another on-line
source, two is more than enough for my (limited I must admit) spare time :-)
