You won't get *more* responses to questinos by moving them to a forum
where *less* people read them... What we need is to somehow get more
people to respond to them, and I think that's easier to get done on the
bugs list.

Not many people deal with the trackers for pginstaller, because not many
people are directly involved in developing on it. And a lot of the bug
reports that come in are either FAQs or general windows-problems not
directly related to the installer, which people can answer without
knowing the source to the installer...
