[Qgis-user] Closure of forum

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
Simply find Google Groups and look there for QGISGRASS.
Then apply for membership.
At the moment, only members can view topics.
Personally, I'm in favor of open groups, but this is at the managers
discretion.
Making the group free to read, but with restricted posting is a good
alternative.

Google Groups works very well for the MapInfo forum, MapInfo-L, and the FME
forum FME Talk. I am a member of both.
Every participant can choose how to take part in the forum, from receiving
every post as e-mail, abridged daily summaries, or only reading it on the
web.

Regards, Mats.E
