Not to discourage all the Inkscape forums people have been starting, but since it seems to get missed a lot, there's a forum interface to this very mailing list:
news.gmane.org provides both web-based and NNTP interfaces; I use this for a lot of mailing-list type interaction.
Personally, I think a lot of fragmentation of a community by everyone and their dog starting an online forum is a bad thing - makes it hard for newbies to come in and find what they're looking for. Consolidation is a much better option, IMHO.

I go to Google forums to ask questions outside of my usual interests and to review old posts in lists I don't receive. For inkscape, Scribus etc. I will continue to read the mail in in thier respective folders.
It would be a shame indeed if important threads bypassed the regular mailing list. And not all ISPs subscribe to all forums.
