This could be accomplished without adding forums. What's needed is a way to signal to reviewers "Here is the forum thread discussing this body of work"What's not needed is more forums -- we have plenty
We're missing among all these communication options a way to organize them
Edited to add:
I realize I could just mention the link to the forum at the bottom of each chapter, but that doesn't grant you posting rights in there. I'm still sending you to join the group, post, then leave.
A way to organize--that is a gigantic hit upon the nail head. Giving the UI organization tools would certainly go a long way to solving many of the issues that seem to be cropping up for most of us.
There is a very, very dusty maxim in Computer Science that there is no programming problem that cannot be solved by adding another layer of indirection. But in this case the point about posting rights intrudes.
My question is: does the indirection appear where the user sees it, so that the user chases the link, or do the forums -appear- with the story, with the link-chasing done in the server tiers or the web machinery? Both can work. Which works better? (I'm assuming that there's no practicably insurmountable obstacle to having a particular forum appear in multiple places.)
