Well, to my mind, a `forum' means someplace where people can have
asynchronous discussions. A phpBB site would qualify, as would Bugzilla,
StackOverflow, and obviously an email mailing list.

But let's stick with convention for a bit. I just realised that people
visiting a FOSS website will often look for the words `mailing
list'--sometimes they may just press Ctrl-F and let the browser do the
search for them. And in fact, there may be automated tools out there
which look for `mailing list' too. So it would be good to leave that
link title as it is in the side panel.

What I did like was John's idea of having a prominent `Need Help?'
section right on the front page, `above the fold' as they say in web
design speak. I guess that would put it above the News section. This
would tell the reader to send an email/subscribe to gnucash-user. I can
put together a patch probably this weekend to try it out--if nobody
beats me to it.

Regards,

Yawar
