There is a forum add-on, with an accompanying mobile app, called
Tap-A-Talk. It allows a user to easily access a forum through a mobile
device, without having to deal with the web version of the forum. You can
also access multiple forums at the same time, which makes managing multiple
different forums much easier.

I have some of the skills, but I don't think the issue is "lack of skill".
It's "lack of leadership". Unlike all the other clubs I'm in, the KLI
doesn't have a structured internal organization, it's just one guy doing it
all (with a few helpers here and there) which means change happens very
very slowly. Personally I believe the KLI needs to restructure itself into
something that more resembles a real non-profit with real positions that
are held by volunteer members who have the skills to handle certain aspects
of the group (For example: Director is at the top, below them are two
teams: an internal team that handles things like the website, mailing
lists, membership processing, qep'a' planning, etc, and a language team
that handles translation requests, editing of KLI works, creation of new
KLI works, KLCP grading, etc). This would shift responsibly for the success
of the KLI from just Lawrence's shoulders, to the shoulders of the
membership as a whole.
