I think so as well, particularly as this testnet is oriented towards more technical people (e.g. comfortable with CLI).
Even so, in general, being welcoming on this forum is important too—no matter the circumstance.

I promise to be nice to them all - even the self-styled “rugged individualists” of the Austrian school who suddenly want to join in this decidedly-collectivist enterprise.

Development have nothing to do with questions like “I can’t extract archive” or “What command I should type?”.
So it is a third group of problems: 1. Why do we need features (social)? 2. How to use software and what features it should have (easy technical questions). 3. How to change code to actually implement a feature or fix a bug (hard technical questions).

I too look and sound different depending on whether I’m giving an academic lecture or sitting in a sailors’ bar. It’s not about “keeping it real” or being “fake”. It’s about focusing on what it is you’re doing.

Should we be looking at (medium-long term) THREE forums (and I will deal with those who say “fora” in Off-topic)
Social and News, Support and Dev?
My name is @Southside and I am a bracketaholic
I’d look and sound different if I was sitting in a sailors bar, sweetie.

I am not sure if separate forums are needed at all.
Separate sections should be enough.
(If forum software supports such usage [did not tested it enough {I can use brackets too}])

So I still can’t try this testnet, if I’m not technical?
Depends on your patience I guess.

nope - thats abuse 
the literary equivalent of sitting a (sailors) bar and working your way along the gantry.
A big sloppy kiss to you too, my love.

Possibly not on day one if you don’t have even minimal ability with the CLI - But by day 2 or 3, I expect we will have scripts so that even the most command-line-averse peeps can try it out.
The command line never hurt anybody. @Vort is right. It’s just about patience and the desire to learn.
EDIT: I’d like to point out that I myself am not really a “technical person”, although I think that term is pretty stupid. I come from humanities, but that doesn’t mean I have to be completely helpless when it comes to using a computer or a fishing net.

I’m not command line literate but have participated in some of the older test nets, would it be a similar level of experience required?

It should be, possibly even easier this time.

I would presume so - possibly even less expertise required.

I’m not even opposed to spoon feeding. But the feedee has to be willing.
