I'm sure that there must be an equivalent place for english speakers, if so it would better to redirect non-ML people to these forums rather than keeping our own with a lower reply rate.<br>

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

+1 from your forum mod ;)<br>
<br>
Anything that reduces complexity in our web infrastructure is a<br>
plus. The forums attract a lot of spam (= work cleaning up) and I<br>
feel like there's a much bigger audience following the mailing list<br>
anyway.<br>
