I'd chatted briefly with Steve about using developers.mit.edu to create a few forums for peer-to-peer user support on unsupported IT topics. Similar, perhaps, to the intent behind the Linux Users but more broadly applicable.

A few follow up questions:

• Who all should I talk to to find out if we can use developers.mit.edu for this?
• Is it possible to create a sub-section of forums, perhaps with a small topic list, so we don't crowd out or confuse the developer forms with a number of user/peer support forums? Or is the forums list limited to a flat list?
