<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>I think we have to be careful here, there are a lot of users out there who don't use mailing lists as a general rule. Mailing lists tend to be a bit more of a 'commitment' than forums, and I think we'd be alienating a lot of users if we drop the forums completely... Is there anyway to set it up so that forum questions are routed to the mailing list, while still appearing to be within the forums for those that prefer this? A new forum structure would probably be fine/nice, but mailing lists tend to be quite 'developer-centric'... I prefer mailing lists myself... But many of my students are 'afraid' or weary of them...</div><div><br></div><div>On the other hand, the mailing list format works well for the R project...</div><div><br></div><div>Just some thoughts to throw around before we completely abandon the forums...

Some time ago it was mentioned that <a href="http://forum.qgis.org" target="_blank"><a href="http://forum.qgis.org">forum.qgis.org</a></a> should be replaced.<br>
Why not simply redirect to<br>
