Hi Kim,
I just wanted to let you know that I contacted Jo Harris and got an immediate reply.
While I’m mostly after offering opinion and insight (for free 
), in her response she also asked if we would manage the forum as a contractor. Pure “curiosity” on her side for now, but yes, we would (once it is decided which way the SUSE forums are heading and what needs to be done) and I told her so.
I want those forums to survive the split - let’s see what needs to be done to make that happen.
All the best
Jens
