[Qgis-developer] Re: forum.qgis.org

[Pirmin Kalberer]

Marco thinks that the community members who take care of the forum could 
decide such a change. But it is always possible to send a mail to the PSC list 
and ask for their view. Since Gary didn't step into the discussion and it's 
"his" forum, I would suggest that Anita sends a mail to the PSC list.
The technical tasks would be
-posting an info message to the forum
-make the forum read-only
-Update qgis.org pages to point to gis.stackexchange
-Optional: Changing the DNS entry for forum.qgis.org

Pirmin
