I vote for a new subforum and would be happy to see Ken moderate it.

I am honestly at a loss to find anything back on the forum using the search function---too many hits or none at all---and find myself just reading through PeterT's sticky List of Hacks to find something posted a while ago. So I am all for smaller threads that can be closed after the problem is solved.

I just had a look at the koreader thread in the Kobo subforum and it has basically reduced to a long list of user problems that might be dealt with the answers given. So it already is a subforum, albeit very very unstructured. The only nice feature of it is the low threshold for posting: nobody has to create a thread.

Koreader's wiki is still rather minimalistic, so it really needs the support of the threads to remain accessible for more users. It would be great if the subforum would generate its own sticky lists with Q&A, easy hacks, etc.

From my point of view the moderation would initially be about moving off-topic questions to new dedicated threads in the subforum and if time allows about maintaining a sticky with a link index.
