By now everybody must be aware of the excellent new wiki's that the team has been putting hours of work into and really doing a fine job of it. You might have also seen the Community drop down menu at the top of the page at http://www.ardupilot.com under that you will see a links to here and APM Forum, this is where our forums will migrate to over time.
Stefan has done an excellent job of improving the functionality of the forums, making it less spammy in the process.
Its attracting questions from wiki users now and as such we need some more of the experts that hang out here to be on hand to help new users there.
The platform that this website uses is about to undergo a major change and this will give us an opportunity to make this site a little more curated with the best of peoples builds and ideas getting more attention.
So come on over to the new forums and lend a hand.

@Gerrit:At some point the Diy Drones Forums could be used to organize community members Personal Builds, FPV Content, Drone Events/conferences, Drone Contests, and much more. It will be highly refreshing to see the millions and millions of documents and information on Diy Drones organized, easily accessible, and easily searchable.
@Gerrit:The transition is going to be gradual. At some point I'm sure the forums on Ning will be removed or repurposed to fit the needs of the Diy Drones Community. For a little while you may see items like the Arducopter 3.01 release have multiple forums. The reason for that is we are migrating over to the new forums for tech related issues, advice, questions, etc and for the duration of the migration we want to provide users a place in each one of the sites until the move is complete. I can talk to some folks though and try to see if I can help assist in the migration and I can address your concerns at that point.
:/ Isn't there some concern this is going to fragment the community? What is the purpose behind dividing the users between the two sites like this? Now I have to go to twice as many locations to read all DIYDrones content.
Ning will still be the operating platform for DiyDrones.com
Just for tech info, support, etc. Anything Ardu/APM related tech wise should be documented on the ArduPilot.com website forums.
Thanks for sharing this!!! I hope most of the community members see this blog and help with the migration of tech. info/questions over to the new Ardupilot.com website
