Re: [Openrocket-devel] Open Rocket Forum

Hey,

It's really up to you guys, we're quite happy to do things either way. If
you're not concerned about being able to moderate OR-related stuff, you can
definitely just use the electronics & software section and we'll update the
forum description to point out the change. Or we can set up an OR section
(either on its own, or as a sub-forum to the Electronics & Software
section) if you think that would be preferable. We're pretty flexible.

Cheers,
Phil
