I think you misunderstand.  I am suggesting that if your business is
sponsoring it (providing that it is), then you should mention it on
the forum site,  This helps gain exposure and respect in the
community, helps give people the credit where due, etc.  In fact, when
Leah offered to put up a wiki, I suggested that she host it on her own
domain for this reason.

More community resources, the better.  We like community input and
participation.  But it is best for everyone to give credit wherever it
is due.

I have reservations about that idea.   I say we revisit it later.  If
you have a proposal, I would want to see spam control and email
harvest prevention addressed in it.

I have no idea,  That is part of the problem.
