Create a discussion template

Some of the proposals in the Discussions tab are quite scant - mea culpa, I'm as guilty of that as anyone.

In the editorial board meeting of 02 Feb we discussed having a template with a list of questions that need to be answered in order to guide people starting a new discussion and to ensure that the discussion topic is sufficiently fleshed out.

We have determined that it is indeed possible to create such a template or form. You can create a template for each category. There are currently three different discussion categories, but the one that most urgently needs a template is Topic Ideas.

I'm starting this issue so that we can decide what the structure of the template should be, i.e. what questions should be asked in order to guide people to create substantial discussion starter posts.

I'm more than happy to undertake the actual implementation of the form once the structure and content has been decided.

Start with the Discussions tab and the linked GitHub documentation on discussion category forms. Review the Topic Ideas category and the meeting context, then determine the questions and structure the template should contain. Done means the structure and content are agreed and a usable Topic Ideas discussion form is created.
