There are two use cases for Synapse Discussion Forum:
- A discussion forum for each project where collaborators can share thoughts and comments.
- A Synapse Q&A forum where Synapse technical support answers general questions about Synapse.
In this document, we show the design of the first use case and state the differences for the second use case.
