I like mailing lists a lot better myself because I can keep track of a
lot more through my inbox than if I had to track a website all the
time, times a dozen.... Aslo, it's a quick punch of the compose button
to get help. I love it, but maybe I'm just old school.<br>

<div>Same view: Actually to add my own view I like forums better and
tend to ignore mailing lists myself. Same with the skills front, I do
not have them. Like to comment more on mailing lists: It took me few
days (open new account etc) just to post here. Because my other email
service blocked it totally. Gambas also is a big mailing list user etc
etc project.....<br>
Been times where would even post to a forum: "said" project admin
would say noone is reading the forums. Post to the mailing list instead
and you will be helped. I'm not totally trying to whine just share
what i see. Honestly and way it affects users who would maybe otherwise
approach differently. Sent suggestions to project leaders before bug
reports but used forums. Where mailing list is involved it is so "not
me" type.</div>

I think it would be nice to have some sort of forum to get people
together around this project, but I don't know if it would expand the
user base. I've always found mailing lists to be confusing and clunky,
because they lack a nice and clean overview of topics/threads.<br>
It is quite frustrating to see this project fail, when I really want to
contribute something useful, as it is such a nice program. But I
probably don't have the skills to manage the project or write any C++
code. I have some experience in python and php, but that doesnt help
much. I would like to help, but don't know where to put my effort.
Translating the application to all languages, will neither put this
project further. First of all we need a project leader, who can tell
people what to help with ;)<br>
