I recently installed MediaWiki and was surprised to find no forum for users/webmasters/developers. Rather than post a complaint (like several others I saw), I have created one at http://www.mwusers.com . Anyone is welcome, of course. I registered the forum only a few days ago, but the software and portal are all set up and working properly.
I wasn't sure how appropriate it would be to announce this here, but I would like other forum-oriented people like myself to know there is now an option.
If I have violated any rules of etiquette in sending this, please accept my sincere apologies.
Hope to see some of you there.
Travis
I went but I didn't see any talk pages.

ktae.
Hello Kate,
But this is no forum. This is a mailinglist. A users forum is a really good initiative!

Hello Travis,
The 'official' MediaWiki discussion channel is this mailing (mediawiki-l on http://mail.wikimedia.org/ ). It is relayed through gmane which allow user to browse it using nntp, a blog interface or some kind of web interface: http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki
I like the look'n feel of mwusers.com though, I will try to look at it daily and eventually answer questions there.
cheers,
Personally, I've always liked forums better than mailing lists. I don't want to have to go to any trouble to browse, and I hate that my inbox fills up with a lot of stuff that I don't need in order for me to get the threads that I need. I'm looking forward to this or any forum picking up steam so we can have a better outlet for help and modifications.
thanks, json
The problem with both a list and a forum of course is that you know have to post your question in both places to get the same result. The advantage of the mailing list is that I am learning things I didn't know I needed to know. (Reading threads that are not on my subject, but seing them anyway because they arrive in my 'wiki' folder. I must admit that I do have the advantage of using a gmail account for this, which gives me over 2.5GB of storage (no problem with mailbox filling up) and takes very well to 'threading' the messages.

That's why I use NNTP, even with Gmail. (The way I had it set up on gmail was that each list would automatically be sorted into a label, one for each list, and it never saw my inbox.)

Great... another user login...
