Sorry a side topic,
Instead of forum , my personal experience of learning a complex soft is, actually to have a centralized collections of tips/tricks/good usage cases/FAQs . If the forum is for that, it's definitely great!
Sorry I'm not sure what is the best forum soft..

 

Thinking about it I'd be inclined to agree. Some sort of Wiki could be really nice, but it might be overkill too. Largely this would be an index for all the customisations that you can do to Ranger, as that constitutes most of the tips and tricks. However that and a(n?) FAQ would be easily integrated into a moderated board on a forum, even if less Wiki-ly.

Actually...

What Ranger needs is a package manager. Something alike to Sublime Text's.

Hi ranger users,

I want to try running a forum for ranger in parallel to the mailing
list and I would like to hear your input on this.

Most importantly, which forum software do you think I should choose?
I'm comfortable with phpBB; I ran forums 10 years ago and back then
phpBB was hip.  I have no idea what's hip today.  Probably not phpBB.

Although I've no expert opinion, I can assure you that phpBB has not become unpopular. I'd be completely fine with that.

However, I don't think forums are hip *at all* with all these Facebooks and newfangled whatnots.
