Next steps: Forum, Wiki, e.V.

[Christian Buggedei]

 Good morning!

I would love to help out with the experience as a Product Person and
moderate a few techniques to collect and sort through the ideas, figuring
out implementation steps, user and corporate benefits, etc.

That said, I am a bit swamped with the day job, but I should be able to get
it together for a few hours per month at the very least.

Also: I love Discourse, and have a slight dislike for MediaWiki :)
(Although I don't have a particular recommendation for alternatives. Maybe
Obsidian online?)

Cheers,
Christian Buggedei
