I will start by stating that my writing skills, both in Greek and English are terrible. I am trying to be 100% friendly and when something i write looks like complaints, for me its more like chatting with a friend.
Fluffy i am not complaining. Criticism and discussions are not bad. You maybe say that because i had asked about the wiki before. You answered me. Your reply was fine with me.
Thing is we all know, as you have said, that resources and time you (the team) are dedicating to monero generally are and should be finite. And you guys have great ideas with great background thinking BUT finite time to make EVERYTHING work flawlessly.
So i dont get why we cant have forum.monero.cc that is going to be exactly what you have envisioned in the future (and take your time to create it) and tempforum.monero.cc that is going to be an insecure(with a big warning that this is an insecure forum), temporary, non scalable, old school, everyoneknowshowtouse,mostly bug free forum...
Because you ask me to list critical things. There is nothing critical about a forum. But right now the ones we have are just not productive. And personally i would prefer time allocated to other things than the forum. I think you also want this. I dont want to bother you about the forum. Thats also a reason why i want a typical oldschool one... (ofc i am NOT the one that i am going to say to you where you are going to allocate your time!)
At last, if you dont accept that, tell me conservative. But remember, i am not the only one. I would argue that half the people here wont take the effort to learn how to use a new forum and prefer the one they already know.
We need a community for many reasons. And we need a community as early as possible. More people aboard mean more help, more ideas and also not having 50% of XMR allocated to 100-1000 people. Right now we have great guides, great posts (especially davids posts) and great discussions all over the internet. I personally want them at a single place. Random people wont get attracted easily without that. And a stronger community can bring even more people aboard. I know that software isnt yet ready for the broader crypto community. But let us be sincere and tell them this and they can decide by themselves.
But if you want a complaint
, here have one: Where is the official webpage that was supposed to be coming in 2-4 weeks(that was in June if i am not mistaken). At least some updates! Because whoever gets on official webpage right now might thing that the project is abandoned! Hell, there is a 'NEW' there from May
tl;dr. My opinion is that you must not try to create EVERYTHING from the scratch and PERFECT simply because you dont have the time and because nothing can be perfect. Some things have to be done half right, at least for now. And again, if we were talking in person i could be better at explaining what i mean and you could better understand that it is positive chatting.

Since anyone is bored to try and organise anything from the above, let us at least agree to discuss a bit about finding and hiring someone who is going to do the job. He should agree to get paid in GAP.
