There are obviously a lot of very knowledgeable people posting to this blog. While I think the material I’ve already posted is helpful I think there are a lot of other folks out there that could help. I’m currently contemplating starting a discussion forum (probably using phpBB) to help get these folks connected. While I recognize that there are quite a few existing discussion forums (Tek-Tips is one such forum) that provide a great environment I think a better job could be done to help nurture the participants and help keep the discussions on topic. I know that Nortel has some discussion forums of their own which are relatively new.

I get a LOT of personal email messages asking for help on various topics. While I try to respond to the vast majority of them I don’t always have the time (or energy). I’m thinking about the following forums;

  • Nortel BayRS Routing
  • Nortel Ethernet Switching
  • Nortel Ethernet Routing Switching
  • Nortel VPN Routing
  • Nortel Succession 1000 Call Server
  • Motorola Wireless LAN Switches
  • Network Management

While it will probably mean some additional workload to get it up and running it could really help connect a lot of folks and could. I could also solicit a few experts to help moderate the different discussion forums and provide some high quality content.

Let me take a poll and see what you folks think. Please feel free to be brutally honest!

Would a dicussion forum interest you?
