Has there been discussion of moving these projects into a real online

There has been a discussion and as part of the new xen.og website
there will be a stackoverflow like Q&A system. An early
prototype is out there already. See
http://new-www.xen.org/index.php/community/xen-questions.html
The categorization is still wrong, the webdeveloper moved a few FAQs
from the xen wiki to give me a feel what this would look like : I
think the categories should be
| Xen
/ Getting Started |
Questions
related to getting started, such as set-up questions, etc. |
| Xen
/ Troubleshooting |
Issues
related to Xen |
| Xen
/ Advanced |
Questions
related to advanced Xen features |

I originally was thinking of migrating the user list to a forum, but
that had a lukewarm reception. Moving the developer lists to forums
is rejected outright by developers.
Given that the new site should be live in 2-3 months, I am reluctant
to introduce a new xcp user mailing list now : too many places for
discussions fragment the community.
Renaming this list to xen-xcp may improve things a little.
We could channel user questions to a renamed xen-xcp list for the
next few months until the Q&A system is in place.
Let me talk to the XCP project lead and to a few people and come up
with a proposal.
Thanks for raising this
