[Paraview] How about developing a Paraview forum

[Bruno Santos]

Just to add what I know that there is already on the Internet regarding 
ParaView related forums:

 1. There are two forums at CFD-Online's Forums (CFD = Computational
    Fluid Dynamics) for discussions about ParaView:
     1. http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-paraview/ - oriented
        towards issues directly related to using ParaView with OpenFOAM
     2. http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/paraview/ - oriented towards
        general questions about using ParaView
 2. stackoverflow.com already has several questions there:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/paraview
 3. The Computational Science group has a few questions there as well:
    http://scicomp.stackexchange.com/search?q=paraview
 4. StackExchange should be open to the creation of new groups:
    http://stackexchange.com/


That being said, there is an advantage to the mailing list (although I 
have trouble with it myself, because I'm more familiar with forums): we 
don't need to sign-in to a website to answer to questions.

Either way, StackExchange is a group endeavour, so it can be open by 
anyone to start a group for it! Problem is having enough people joining it.
