There are frequent blog articles from Linfiniti, GIS-lab and Sourcepole about 
QGIS related activities. So it would be cool to collect them on a QGIS blog 
page (similar to http://planet.osgeo.org that collects the articles from a 
number of sources). Don't know how difficult it is to set it up though.

I had similar feedback from users, therefore I'd also vote for closing the 
forum.

Regards,
Marco
