Aldert,
I agree that it would be nice to have a forum for using OpenACS as a program, rather than as a software toolkit. But most of the designers I'm working with are responsible for turning their ideas into working sites. They don't know (and don't want to know) about how to install or use the applications; they are more interested in hearing how to create HTML forms, use data sources, and create conditional text using this new and strange technology known as OpenACS.
I'm all in favor of a separate new "OpenACS newbies" forum that would help people who want to use the existing OpenACS applications. And I definitely see some overlap between the two needs. But the two forums serve different purposes, so far as I can tell.
