SubjectWeb based discussion forum for Csound
Hi,


Where the guys at discourse (a web based discussion forum) are offering free hosting for github based open source projects. To qualify they say the project needs 2000+ stars and 30+ contributors but in the first comment Jeff Atwood says that they are willing to bend those rules for notable projects, which I feel Csound is one.

I think having an online discussion forum to supplement the email list would be a nice addition. I think a lot of newer users wouldn't use a mailing list and would be more comfortable with the discussion forum, it would also make a nice addition to the csound.github.io website, making pretty much everything then centralised to there. I would say that it would be possible as well to have the forum reflect what is in the discussion list and vice-versa.

Just thought it would be worth discussing, 
Thanks
Ed

This is a great idea. I also think csound needs an online forum. Momentum for the stack exchange site seems to have waned.

If no one objects, I might go ahead an apply for this. I think an online forum is badly needed.

+1! The Cabbage forum is proof that having one is a great idea, and
especially for newcomers.
