[Qgis-psc] QGIS forum

[Anita Graser]

Hi PSC,

It has already been discussed on developer mailing list: Some action has to
be taken concerning QGIS forums.

The current situation looks like this:
- The forum attracts a lot of spam every day.
- The forum is often down or slow to respond. (Therefor it takes a lot of
time to remove spam and ban spammers.)
- Developers don't frequent the forums so we have to forward people to the
mailing list anyway.

My suggested alternative would be to redirect developer questions to the
mailing list and user questions to gis.stackexchange.org. This would reduce
web infrastructure complexity for us while at the same time increase our
visibility on the platform-independent stackexchange site.

Since we are on our way to the next big release, updating our web
infrastructure and other aspects of the QGIS project, I feel it's necessary
to address this topic.

Best wishes,

Anita
