Thanks, Milan! I agree that one impact of the Forum is sharing new ideas, and there are other impacts as well – my colleagues JP and Aaron have written some of these here.
I think our respondents were pointing out that, regardless of what the forum “should” be for, newcomers are going to assume that the content is representative of EA. One project we are working on is putting a new version of the handbook on the Forum, which we hope will provide newcomers with a more representative introduction to EA, while still keeping the existing aspects of the Forum for those who want new articles.
If you have more feedback on the goals of the Forum, we would be excited to hear them!
