Hi all,
Seems that OsGeo is providing a Discourse instance. Discourse seems to be
something that can work both as a mailing list and a forum. The main advantage
of the forum like mode is the ability to search for old topic and possibly
easily get answers for your questions before posting a new question. also might
be a bit more attractive for new comers (but that's a bold statement).

Seems that the full archive of the current mailing list can be imported into
discourse, and users using the same email address to register in discourse will
get their messages linked to their user. Discourse can also work as a read only
mirror of the current mailing list to allow searching, but not posting new
stuff.

The biggest threat is, as always, scattering the community a bit more.
For folks that cannot follow community chats (very time consuming with no
historic) mailing lists and forums may be a better alternative.
