Hi everyone, I'm still fairly new around here, but I thought I'd point everyone over to one of my side projects - The Open WordPress Community. Basically, it's one central place where WordPress enthusiasts/developers/users can gather to discuss WordPress related topics, and to share their themes and plugins. The "official" WordPress support forums are fairly poor, and certainly don't have a community feel to them, and I'm looking to change that.<br /><br />So, if you're a WordPress user of any sort, then head on over to The Open WordPress Community and take a look around. The site is pretty much still in it's infancy, so I'm wide open to suggestions to help make it a better place.<br /><br />Thanks!<!--content-->

Great idea and I hope it takes off. You're right, the official WP pages are all but useless - I tried to learn WP coding from the Codex and failed miserably, then found a 3rd party tutorial and learned the whole thing in two days during my free time.<!--content-->
Thanks for the encouragment Expat - what I'm already finding out is how difficult it is to build an online community, it's not as simple as "if you build it, they will come"<!--content-->
Have you thought about using Google AdWords? It seems like a good way to get targeted traffic.<!--content-->
