Hi everyone,
In recent OpenVPN community meetings the idea of rethinking the forum board layout has been brought up. There are certain topics like open source client usage/configuration that do not fit into any existing forum board.
Below is a new layout proposal created by pippin that is meant as a starting point for discussion. The "Enterprise/business" part of the proposal has already been implemented and is omitted here.

Re: Rethinking the forum boards?
I would personally prefer to have a single "Server" board. The rationale: server configuration is mostly the same regardless of the operating system. If we split it to several boards there's a risk of having less people answer generic server questions. On the client-side differences between operating systems are bigger (GUI-vise at least), so maybe a split there makes more sense.

I'm not opposed to reorganizing things.
