our forum is currently hosted at Nabble
> How much does it cost?
- Nabble services: zero, but they earn money w/ advertisement.
- For us in general:
Quite a lot, actually:
- we need to trust them dealing with our valuable forum communication
- allow them to track posts, identities and earning money via ads
If we switch, our costs will be:
- maintenance of another service (long term)
- establish forum/mailinglist solution (one time)
I added you as well to
<https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1095>
I personally would prefer Mark driving the task for now,
while we assist.
If it is not possible to migrate the old DB in a reasonable time,
we may simply add references and host the new forum on a new subdomain,
as Mark suggested.
Cheers, Sven
