Hi Regis, Discours it seems more useful for we as members of a mailing lists, it have a modern conception social-like and if the structure of the Qgis Community will be categorized per arguments (i.e. geoprocessing topics, rasters topics, editing topics, etc.), I think will be more simple to help and receive help from other users with respect to the current mailing list (of which personally read less than 1% of total mail in)
