we do link the mailinglists already, so it would be about removing the link.

Some users reported that they will much more comfortable with a forum,
it has some advantages compared to a mailinglists regarding the possibilities
to organise topics, like moving threads.
On the other hand if I cannot reach Olaf and do not get answer from Lanner
as some point, I think that removing the link is something I will have to do.

There is one person that possibly could volunteer for being a moderator,
I could also publish a call for help on the users-list.

Thanks a lot for your feedback,
Bernhard
