I think the mailing list is quite old-fashioned, perhaps some people like it but it definitively feels not newbie friendly compared to a forum or even github and gitlab. I haven't signed up on the forum yet but I will be sure to do that ;-)

Andrea,
The Forum does not seem to be a success among old users.
I was hoping it would replace the Mailing List because I have had comments from people who hate the Mailing List and probably they just want to read the Forum and not be bothered with more mail to go through.

But the forum also has another function; it can happen to
us a curious visitor or even just random. My request is then to put
many video tutorials, How TO and Demo captivating that manage to
attract the interest of an occasional visitor.

I agree that random visitation is important too since we are trying to get the word out.  I am supposed to be working on a beginner's tutorial just to catch some of the random users and to get the basics down, but keep dragging my feet.  I do have a pretty good start but too many interruptions.   We should try to at least add 1 demo a week so that the forum keeps active.  gg/Phyllis
