[TYPO3-UG US] New forum on typo3.us

[Duffy, Chris]

It might help people find the module they want if next to each download
link there could be a link to an image or live page/site that
illustrates what that module will do.

This looks like a great approach. I will post this on the forum, as
well, I think I am the only one here who hates forums :-) A couple of
questions/comments:

1. Are these all going to be made into separate install packages? Or
will there be just one install package with all the extensions that are
used in the different market segments?

2. Either way, we should ensure that the documentation is modular, so
that it may be reused with no or only minor edits in multiple manuals.
In many ways, this is how it is done now, but there needs to be a way to
make it friendlier in finding the material you need.
