I would actually argue that the "regular" joomla user probably doesn't
have a clue what Usenet is or how to get to it. Most people who use a
package like Joomla just want a quick and easy way to make a website
with a lot of nifty features. For people like them, a forum is perfect
because it's what they're used to (and you can make sticky topics for
the most common questions). It would actually be the more serious
developers writing new modules or adapting Joomla code to a specific
purpose who would be more apt to use Usenet, and for them, a simple
'developer' section of the forum would serve just as well.

Do you regularly poke around looking for new usenet groups? I know I
don't. How would it be easier to find? What could be more intuitive
than: "I need help with XXX for Joomla. I know, I'll check the
website. Oh look, there's a support section with a forum!"
