Mods should at least be available within the steam workshop. Some tests have been done, I don't know if they were conclusive.
I +100 agree with you, we modders need our place on the official forum.
We WILL HAVE TO rely on a helpfull modding community to create some great stuff. Just to sharing knowledge, as Larian might not have the workpower to dedicate full time people to maintaining a modding wiki of some sort. Hopefully they will release some tuts.
This wait is painfull :-(.
