The layout of Forum makes co-ordinating discussions about wiki maintenance harder compared to a wiki-style forum - less width for templates, a lack of syntax highlighting in the editor and reduced performance. I have tried to run a "suggestions box" through Forum to abject failure - the interface is not as inviting to readers as Discussions. Meanwhile, Wookiepedia have sucessfully set up a suggestions category on theirs - a nice purpose-built way to connect with readers and app users. Their wiki-style forum and talkpages are used to co-ordinate daily on-wiki activity.
