Great :-)

I know. But there might be reasons as why it wasn't used much?
Etc. in the old forum, was the extension owner alerted when someone had 
written something in the forums?

I don't think that I agree in this point of view. At least not when we 
speak of the smaller extensions which don't have their own lists. If 
someone mentions or comments an extension on the english list etc., 
there is a big risc that it will not be noticed by the people who has 
the knowledge of this extension.
Even if a succesful discussion has happened, it will quickly drown in 
the mass. That's why I think it would be nice if extensions had their 
own forums.
Also I think that much of communications that goes through the "Feedback 
email channel" could just as well have gone through a forum for the 
extension. As I think that many of feedback talks could be interesting 
for many T3 users.

I know that you probably also have to worry about the typo3.org site not 
being too heavy. But that's not my job ;-)
