So, if private individuals were to try something, you would not want it 
using an url such as, for example,  koffice.wikidot.com  The site could 
be named something like "friends of KOffice" with some other url.  Or 
(another possibility) a general office software discussion site called 
something like "office view".  It could carry a feed from the KOffice 
news page (as my personal site does) and some links and information but 
otherwise be clearly independent of KOffice.

Having just been through this exercise (I was one of the prime movers if 
not the prime mover to get another forum for OO users), I'm painfully 
aware that most users are apathetic.  If you have something good, 
though, the support will be there.  PCLinuxOS needed help earlier this 
year and they got it in spades.
