Does GitLab plan to offer a mailing-list feature? I will pray for
that.
Maybe its better not to rely to one vendor only. Why not switching over
to a vendor for mailinglists like
https://www.freelists.org/about.html
I send them a request for a new Gambas mailing-list.
or ...
make a subdomain list.gambaswiki.org and host a mailinglist by self?
Thats not rocket science.
Yes, but it takes time to deal with.
The latter is sth I could do, as I already host gambas-club.de at my
hosting provider. As I can see the traffic the Gambas lists creates is
not a big problem.
But I'm in holliday right now.
Alles Gute

OK, thanks. I will wait for your return.
If anyone has ideas about how and where to host at least two
mailing-lists, you are welcome!
Regards,
There may be reason to be concerned about the long-term reliability of
freelists.org. They use three different free software packages, two of
which haven't been updated in over three years and the third's website
doesn't even load.
The Gambas community might be better served by setting up Mailman at
something like list.gambaswiki.org as suggested; even though Mailman
setup does not, at first glance, appear simple and would take an initial
time investment.
I'm having the same feeling about freelists.org. Not only the software they
rely on look abandoned, but I couldn't find any kind of blog/newsletter
giving
signs of life from the administrators.
The closest I could find is their "updates" mailing-list, which hasn't been
updated since 2005 !
I have looked for free & open-source mailing-list providers, but they all
seem
pretty outdated. The best I could find was https://framalistes.org/, but
their site
seems to only be in French …
However, self-hosting is another long-term investment, and requires
continuous
maintenance, so I don't think it is worth it. But if Christof can offer
that hosting (as he already hosts other lists), I think it can be a good
idea. :-)
