While I'd like to agree that a separate discussion forum would be useful for DNA, in reality I really don't want to have to join another forum - so my vote goes to the status quo - use the existing discussions areas (including facebook and google +) for DNA discussions as well, and also take advantage of things like the conference or google + hangouts to get together with other DNA project admins and talk in more depth. I personally think that having DNA discussions appearing here well before I started my own project was one of the triggers for me taking the plunge. If it had been a completely separate forum I may not have considered a DNA study (or just left it up to someone else to deal with in the future). I'd like to also really thank Susan Meates in particular (I know there are other folk as well supporting DNA studies) for the huge amount of work she does in supporting DNA surname studies. I personally would never have got mine started if it hadn't been for her mentoring, and while this new mygroups feature of familytreeDNA still bamboozles me, I'm just so pleased that Susan is monitoring it,dealing directly with ftDNA, and advising GOONS members.

I think discussion on the Guild Forum and using the other Guild platforms is a great idea, but a list of those DNA projects would be helpful in the members room. There is currently a list of interesting material in the members room - http://one-name.org/members/DNAsection.html and there is some information in the Guild WiKi, but I don't see a list of DNA projects.
