Just do a search google groups to know anyone who uses/particpate to Qubes OS, 
contradictory no ?


This is the official statement from the section "Mailing lists vs. forums" in the 
documentation on "Help, Support, and Mailing Lists" [1]:

"[...] The Google Groups service is just free infrastructure, and we distrust the 
infrastructure. This is why, for example, we encourage discussants to use Split GPG to 
sign all of their messages to the lists, but we do not endorse the use of these Google 
Groups as web forums. [...] (Note: There have been many discussions about why the Qubes 
OS Project does not maintain an official forum. The curious can find these by searching 
the list archives. However, there is an unofficial forum that is synced with the mailing 
lists.)"

Maybe that already answers some of your questions.

Matthias

I haven't tried it, but in theory you can use nabble "forums" as a web 
gateway. Hopefully without having to go through any SMS verification, 
neverending captchas, or even enabling JS.


See:

The downside is that, I assume, you can't see or reply to messages from 
before you registered and archived the list.


If you know of any similar sites, please share.
