With access to forums you only see after login?

As for "no panic" then we've got several projects cooking in Iceland 
after a beneficial annual meeting but we've not launched them yet 
because we don't want to fragment any more than strictly needed so the 
forum issue has been plaguing us. We could set up our own forum and go 
from there but that is counter-productive in the long run.

We would like the matter to be resolved shortly, pumping up enthusiasm 
and belief in projects is hard work and harder when the organizational 
tools we wanted to adhere to are broken (in this case in a logistical 
more than technical way).
