So looking at the contributions to this discussion so far - many thanks 
for those :-) - I see various subjects:
- about technical possibilities;
- some with politics;
- and the question itself.

Reading the various opinions, sooner or later, there will be fora, that 
are clearly recognised as linked to LibreOffice. Indeed, it is clear 
that there are various already in different languages.

For some time, I could personally live quite well with a forum that is 
clearly, visibly, independent serving LibreOffice and other suites. 
Since suggestions made in that direction seem to be more political than 
technical feasible, I can leave that illusion.
So the questions seems more: when are we going to create our own, then if.

Then there is the question about the technical background. I see lots of 
useful ideas and info on those. Obviously the solution must scale and 
allow for various languages.
Is there any need to hurry?
A first thing that could be done anyway, is creating the 'portal' to the 
forum, the link, on the website, so that is clearly shows our intention 
and where we are heading for?

Best
