Hi David/GNUCash users, Thanks for that GnuCash mailing lists link!
https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user > https://lists.gnucash.org/search/?idxinfo=gnucash-user > https://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com//GnuCash-User-f1415819.html does not work for me right now (server not found), is anyone else also seeing that issue? https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo - it also looks like the GNUCash mailing lists are using version 2.1.29 of the Mailman software - https://list.org/ According to https://list.org/ - "Current Version The current stable GNU Mailman versions are: 01-Oct-2024 Mailman 3.3.10 (Tom Sawyer) 13-Dec-2021 Mailman 2.1.39" Does GNUCash have any plans to upgrade the mailing lists (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists & https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo) to the current version of Mailman 2 (2.1.39) or, even better, the current version of Mailman 3 (3.3.10)? --- Thanks, Brad - https://www.facebook.com/brad.morrison.12327/ & https://nextdoor.com/profile/01mP46jj8KCzj3sP4 & https://norcal.social/@BradMorrison On 2025-02-09 22:23, sunfish62--- via gnucash-user wrote: > https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists > > David T. > > On Feb 10, 2025, 8:23 AM, at 8:23 AM, David Cousens > <davidcousen...@gmail.com> wrote: I am not sure what the official position is > re the mail archive site. > AFAIK it mirrors posts to the official lists which are maintained by > the GnuCash team and moderated by Liz.
