[Qgis-developer] forum.qgis.org

[MORREALE Jean Roc]

In the french-speaking community there is two big forums where users 
come to get support for qgis, they are better referenced than our forum 
on google so it is often their first stop. 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.
