If you don't know, I run www.inkscapeforum.com--a relatively successful phpBB forum for Inkscape users.
I created the forum because I knew there was demand and at the time I knew I could devote a lot of time to make it successful. But I was never fond of the idea that a single person would have ownership of the data accumulated from the community.
I wanted to offer ownership of the forum to Inkscape.org. Ideally this only needs to go as far as knowing that if I were hit by a bus, someone could step in and take over. I don't know how things are ran on the inkscape.org site, but I would be offering the entire setup to be hosted by inkscape.org (if possible).
I would happily continue to moderate, and administer the board if appropriate access were given. And I would redirect inkscapeforum.com to the new domain, or change it's name servers.
Anyway, discussion open. Would Inkscape.org be interested in adopting the forum? The forum won't be shutdown regardless of the answer.
