Re: [X3dom-developers] mailingList/Forum: Where to go?

[Johannes B. <joh...@ig...>]

I searched for a google groups alternative but AFAIK are GCs the only free and open system which combines email and forum in a single elegant tool.
Does anybody has an issue with moving the email-list and forum (user and developer) from source-forge to google groups?

best regards
johannes
