Maybe a general "web tech" forum? I'd be open to that. web/db does seem rather dead these days ...
Of course, we could just prominently link to web/db - that might breath some life into it.
The advantage of having it here would be that the new openacs.org will
include site-wide search
functionality, and having threads on generalized "web tech" topics at our fingertips would be a nice thing for the community.
